What do all the abbreviations mean?
As with any industry there are a range of abbreviations which aren't necessarily obvious to a learner. Initially the abbreviations seem designed to confuse you and make it harder to understand. Here is a list of a few common abbreviations to help you out.
| Abbreviation | Meaning | Description |
| DoT | Department of Transport | The Government department that tests drivers have attained a satisfactory level of driving standard. |
| DSA | Driving Standards Agency | The regulatory body that ensures all companies and instructors of LGV tuition are competent and fit to do so. |
| DVLA | The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency | The Government department responsible for issuing you with a provisional and, hopefully, a full LGV driving licence. |
| HGV | Heavy Goods Vehicle | The old abbreviation for trucks and lorries. |
| LGV | Large Goods Vehicle | The new abbreviation for trucks and lorries. |
