The suggested amounts of time are a starting point as to what traffic commissioners might expect in terms of hours worked. They are intended as a prompt to operators/applicants and the nominated CPC holder to discuss what time is actually required to carry out the duties suggested at paragraph 49 above.

In respect of total hours traffic commissioners will be aware that the road transport working time legislation limits the average working week to 48 hours over a given reference period with no week within that reference period being over 60 hours. The horizontal working time legislation (non-EU regulated mobile workers) requires that ‘adequate rest’ be undertaken each week.
