Operator Compliance Risk Score
• Historic index score is the average number of points per event:
Historic index score
total points
number of events
= index score
• At a roadside check vehicle is inspected and three defects found:1. Brake system = 200 points2. Oil leak = 25 points3. Mirrors = 25 points
Historic index score - example
250
1
= 250
NOTE : PSV test data is not captured on OCRS
• Next week another vehicle stopped at roadside and found to be defect free:– No points allocated– Event logged
Historic index score - example
250
2
= 125
• Historic index scores placed on a “league table” to obtain OCRS
• Based on 3 years worth of data.• Calculation from the end of the
previous week.• Fixed penalties issued to driver’s
included.• FPs only counted if no prohibition
issued for same infringement (no double counting).

So how do London Limos compare with PSV’s
380 Limo checks in London 13000 PSV checks in the UK
380
13000
London Limos have a 64% Roadworthiness Prohibition Rate
64
36
UK PSV fleet have a 27% prohibition rate for mechanical defects
27
73
Bottom Line :
• VOSA must do more Limo checks
• LIMO operators need VOSA to do more Limo checks
The Aims of a Good Quality Operator – ACTION PLAN
• Operate professionally within the law • Comply with all licence conditions and
undertakings.– REMEMBER EC 1071/2009
• Ensure you review your OCRS and VOSA data.
• Audit your systems on a regular basis. Use external auditors from time to time to get a fresh/different viewpoint.
• Be prepared to modify your systems.• Notify changes to the Traffic Commissioner
promptly, e.g. within 28 days
