The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has published new guidance on drivers’ hours and tachographs.
The guidance is for drivers and operators of goods vehicles and passenger-carrying vehicles in Great Britain and Europe, whether used privately or commercially.
If you drive a goods vehicle or a passenger-carrying vehicle you must follow the rules on how many hours you can drive and the breaks that you need to take.
Aims of the new guidance
The new guides explain the rules for drivers’ hours and the keeping of records, and update previous guidance from 2011.
