New European Commission oposals to update the drirs' hours rules have been immed by operators for moving their flexibility.
Under the proposed changes drivers will be required to ke a 30-minute break after roe hours' driving, with a daily st period of 12 hours. The 36lur weekly rest provision will removed.
The DoT has published a insultation document on the ianges, which are intended to clarify and simplify the existing legislation to make it easier to understand and enforce, and to update and remove outdated exemptions.
The changes are supposed to come into effect from January 2004, but the FTA believes this is unlikely.
Stephen Hall, commercial director at Bristol-based 011is Transport, says: "Our flexibility will be impaired by the changes to the minimum daily rest period which extends to 12 hours."
