drivers' hours rules
Mixed EU/AETR and GB domestic driving
Many drivers spend some of their time driving under one set of rules
and some under another set, perhaps even on the same day. If you
work partly under EU/AETR rules and partly under GB domestic rules
during a day or a week, the following points must be considered:
• The time you spend driving or on duty under EU/AETR rules
cannot count as a break or rest period under GB domestic rules.
• Driving and other duty under GB domestic rules (including
non-driving work in another employment) count as other work but
not as a break or rest period under EU/AETR rules.
• Driving and other duty under EU/AETR rules count towards
the driving and duty limits under the GB domestic rules.
• When driving under each set of rules you must comply with
the requirements of the rules being driven under e.g. the daily
rest provisions for domestic and the daily and weekly rest requirements
for EU/AETR driving.
Driving
limits
The GB domestic limit (a maximum of 10 hours of driving a day)
must always be obeyed. But at any time when you are actually driving
under the EU/AETR rules you must obey all the rules on EU/AETR driving
limits.
Other duty limits
The GB domestic limit (i.e. no more than 16 hours on duty for
drivers of passenger vehicles) must always be obeyed. But when working
under EU/AETR rules you must also obey all the rules on breaks,
daily rest (only on those days when actually driving) and weekly
rest.
Rest periods and breaks
Again, you must always obey the EU/AETR rules on rest periods
and breaks on days and weeks when driving in scope of EU/AETR rules
is carried out.
Where a driver works under GB domestic rules in week 1 and the EU/AETR
rules in the second week, the weekly rest required in week 2 must
start no later than 144 hours following the commencement of duty
on or after 00.00 on Monday.
Records
During a week in which the in-scope driving has taken place,
any previous work (including out-of-scope driving in that week)
would have to be recorded as 'other work' on a tachograph chart,
printout or a manual input facility of a digital tachograph.
When driving a vehicle subject to EU or AETR rules, a driver is
required to produce on request tachograph records (including other
work records described above) for the current day and the previous
28 calendar days when he has driven in scope of the EU/AETR rules
in the relevant week
