Q. What happens if I have to exceed my hours due to an emergency?

A. If you exceed either driving time or total shift time due to an unforeseen event such being caught in a tailback following a motorway closure, don’t panic. Just carry on to the first safe stopping place, such as a motorway service station (not the hard shoulder!). On arrival at this stopping place, the first thing you must do is to take a printout from the VU and then write the relevant details on the reverse such as: location of event; approximate time; location of stopping place etc. The more details the better! Never leave it until the end of the shift to record these details!
