DVSA guidance
Guidance from the DVSA on rules which came into force in August 2020
The EU Mobility Package that was introduced in August 2020. This included a few alterations to Drivers’ Hours which include:
- The ability for drivers to take two back-to-back Weekly Rests when doing international journeys, so long as each reduction is started outside their own Member State.
- The ability to record a ferry crossing whilst on Weekly Rest (reduced/ regular)
- Updated requirements on record-keeping which have a big impact on occasional drivers; EVERYONE now has to carry 28 days’ worth of records on them regardless of whether they driver full-time or not and these records must be recorded on the back of a chart, print-roll or via manual entry.
