THE LATEST edition of The Driver's Guide published by the General, Municipal, Boilermakers and Allied Trades Union has been fully revised and updated to 1984.
As general secretary David Basnett says in his foreword; "There can be no doubt that driving is no longer just a job; it is a highly demanding profession, All drivers need to be aware of an increasingly complex range of laws and regulations on which their livelihood and the public's safety can depend."
The 70-page guide commences with a summary of basic legislation — going on to deal with drivers' hours in their various guises, and including pieces on the tachograph, hazardous loads, vehicle weights and dimensions, C and U Regulations, and drivers' and employers' responsibilities.
The guide also has several ata-glance summary charts, plus an application form to the GMBATU at Thorne House, Ruxley Ridge, Claygate, Esher, Surrey.
