While rules on drivers’ hours emanate from Europe through EC Regulation 561/2006/, the UK adopted these regulations within the Transport Act 1968 and consequently this law will remain, regardless of our status in Europe. With Britain’s exit from the EU looming, there have been some questions over drivers’ hours and what will happen in this area of law moving forward.

When considering how to approach drivers’ hours infringements, the primary issue to address is what systems does the vehicle operator have in place to properly collect, analyse and report on recorded driving? For example, if operators are not regularly collecting and analysing data and producing clear infringement reports, it is very difficult to then look to criticise or indeed discipline a driver for potential infringements. ![]()
