drivers WTD does not have any daily or weekly rest rules therefore on UK domestic regs a driver can drive for 10 hours a day 7 days a week

Thank you for that , this is from our transport manager / trainer who is 100% adamant they are correct and even did a chart on the flip board for me to understand , i did ask where i could find this online to look at , but did not get an answer

If that’s what he told you I’d have to say the DCPC instructor was wrong, although the 1998 working time regulations allow for daily and weekly rest periods those sections of the WTD are excluded for “air, rail, road, sea, inland waterway and lake transport” and various other none transport sectors.

They do actually, but drivers who are exempt from EU regulations i.e. drivers on UK domestic regulations don’t come in-scope of the drivers WTD anyway.

In that case you’re not going to win the argument so you might as well give up now

Sorry I’m not sure what you mean but drivers who are working in-scope of the UK domestic regulations and occasional mobile workers come under the Working Time Regulations 1998, drivers who are in-scope of EU regulations (other than occasional mobile workers) come under the The Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005.
