D When drivers of British goods and )assenger vehicles entering Common Vlarket countries are, from October 1, .equired to keep a record book, they will tlso have to show in the control book their :ntries for the seven days preceding their irrival in the foreign country. This was nade clear on Tuesday by the Ministry of fransport, in a reminder about the new ituation.
As Pointed out in CM August 28, from ktober 1, British passenger vehicles and ;Gods vehicles exceeding 34 tons gross veight will be required by EEC Community kegulation 543/69 to be in possession of a uitable log book and must record their iours of work, driving and rest when in '7rance, Germany, Holland, Italy, ,uxembourg and Belgium. Drivers will also
be bound by the new Common Market hours limits.
Drivers of articulated vehicles grossing over 20 tons will be limited to eight hours driving and 450km distance a day and 48 hours driving a week. Drivers of other vehicles will be covered by a nine-hour daily driving limit (10 hours twice a week) but no distance limit.
From October 1971 drivers of vehicles other than heavy artics are due to conform to an eight-hour daily driving limit (nine hours twice a week) but the EEC has undertaken to amend the rules to allow drivers of all commercial and passenger vehicles to work to a nine-hour daily limit until December 1973, although the distance limit will still apply to the large artics.
