9 hours daily driving limit, this can be increased to 10 hours twice a week
Maximum of 56 hours weekly driving limit
Maximum of 90 hours fortnightly driving limit
45 minutes break after 4.5 hours driving
After a period of no more than 4.5 hours of driving you must immediately take a break of at least 45 minutes unless you are taking a rest period instead. The driving period can be continuous, or made up of shorter periods totalling 4 hours 30 minutes.
A break can be split into two periods (these are known as split breaks) the first break period being a minimum of 15 minutes and the following break a minimum of 30 minutes. These breaks must be completed after 4.5 hours driving.
Breaks of less than 15 minutes would not qualify as breaks, however they wouldn’t be classed as driving time either. The EU driver’s rules and regulations state that only split breaks that show the secondary period being 30 minutes or over will be allowed.
Regular daily rest period of 11 hours (This regular daily rest period may be taken in two periods, the first needing to be an uninterrupted period a minimum of 3 hours and the second an uninterrupted period of at least 9 hours, totalling a minimum of 12 hours.)
A HGV driver can reduce their daily rest period to a minimum of 9 hours uninterrupted, however they can only do this no more than three times a week. This is called a reduced daily rest period. Any rest period over 9 hours but under 11 hours will be classed as a reduced daily rest period.
Drivers’ hours weekly rest of 45 hours, which can be reduced to 24 hours, provided at least one full rest is taken in any fortnight. There should be no more than six consecutive 24 hour periods between weekly rests.
In summary if a HGV driver begins work at 7.00am on day 1 they must by 7.00am on day 2 have completed one of the following:
A regular daily rest period of 11 hours uninterrupted
A split regular daily rest period of 12 hours, taken in two separate periods, the first being a minimum of 3 hours and the second at least 9 hours
A reduced daily rest period, only if entitled, of a minimum of 9 hours uninterrupted (but not over 11 hours)
Working time must not exceed an average of 48 hours a week, normally calculated over a rolling 17 week period, but can be extended to a 26 week period under a collective or workforce agreement
Maximum working time of 60 hours in one week (provided average working time of 48 hours a week not exceeded, see above)
Maximum working time of 10 hours if night work performed. Again this can be extended under a collective or workforce agreement
The working time directive rest requirements are the same as the EU drivers hours rest rules.
That is the summary of the HGV driving hours and working time directive which relates to the majority of lorry drivers in the UK. We are now going to look a little closer at the HGV driving and working hours and answer some common questions relating to how to calculate your driver’s hours and what breaks are required.
It is important to note that EU driver’s hours break requirements take precedence over these breaks when driving, so be sure you are taking the correct break periods when combing driving with other work.
Cannot work for more than 6 hours without a break. A break should last a minimum of 15 minutes
30 minute break if working between 6 and 9 hours in total.
After working for 6 hours a mobile worker must take a break of 15 minutes. However, if working between 6 and up to 9 hours in a shift a mobile worker must take a break totalling a minimum of 30 minutes, this can be made up of two breaks of 15 minutes.
45 minute break if working more than 9 hours in total. If a shift contains more than 9 hours of working time a break period totalling 45 minutes is required.
