• The Department of Transport is reconsidering its interpretation of the drivers hour's regulations. This follows the decision at Burnley Crown Court in the Mayfield Chicks case, when the court accepted the Lancashire police interpretation of the drivers' hours rules, that a break of 45 minutes is necessary immediately after 41/2 hours' driving. Transport minister Robert Atkins is believed to be ready to accept this interpretation.
