Driver’s hours offenders face tougher penalties

the nodding donkey:
Forget about the rules about taking a 45 hour in the cab. DVSA will be able to fine £300 for every infringement over the previous 28 days. :open_mouth:

Anybody who drove in Germany years ago will remember how keen the authorities were on checking all your previous records…

It’s not £300 for every infringement. It is UP TO £300 which is the current level of fine anyway.

So, 4h 56m driving without a valid break = £100. 11h 30m driving today = £300

At the moment there is also a cap of maximum of three penalties in a day. I suspect that cap will remain
