Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Importing a Great Britain administration or road-law rule without checking Northern Ireland.
Guardrail: Use DVA and Northern Ireland rules for eligibility, licensing and territorial law even when a shared-skills publication comes from DVSA.
Treating the internal 601-item allocation as an official DVA topic weighting.
Guardrail: Do not apply car-scale or Great Britain administrative assumptions; account for LGV mass, dimensions, blind areas, load and the Northern Ireland regime.
