Message: [QUOTE="kieren21, post: 11078000, member: 121997"] Regarding the second point of going over hours for unforeseen situations such as the protests - yes. For arguments sake you get stuck in a road closure due to the protest and you go over your hours - you’d need to find a safe and practicable parking spot as soon as possible. From experience this can be quite open to interpretation but don’t take the piss! Then you need two tacho print outs from the tacho unit. (I’d also have done one at the point of going over whatever hours limit if possible just to show I’ve acknowledged that I’m about to contravene it). On both printouts write on the rear the times of the contravention, what regulation you’ve exceeded and the reason why. Sign/date. One copy to your office whenever you get back and keep the other copy on you whilst driving for 28 days in case of a roadside check. Tip - doesn’t need to be war & peace - be accurate and succinct and don’t use it more than necessary. If you have one for every other day it sort of rings alarm bells. I probably do one once in a blue moon. [/QUOTE]
