Wheel Nut:
44 Tonne Ton:
Daily duty limit of 12 hours any combination of driving/other work. Night time limit of 10 hours.
Breaks a minimum of 30 mins, total of 90 minutes per shift.
We already get that now
Err, no we don’t?
Max 6 hours work then break must be taken.
RTD
One set of regs only eliminate RTD for simplicity.
Weekly duty max 60 hours.
RTD
Call it what you like.
Eliminate double manning hours regs.
Not Feasible
It’s law now that I’ve done it so ■■■■ it up! of course it’s feasible.
Minimum weekly rest 48 hours. No reductions.
Doesn’t help people trying to see family when they are stuck in Ashford or Calais
You chose that work. ■■■■ it up! Anyway I thought you adventurers liked being away for weeks on end?
No Sunday working.
Not feasible
As before I’ve made it law and what’s not feasible about that?
Endorsements made permanent. Get 12 points you’re banned and resit test. ANY further points banned and retest. Every time.
Create sufficient rest points with free at point of use, decent, clean and well maintained facilities providing good quality food.
They already do, but it is too expensive for many
You appear to have missed the words FREE AT POINT OF USE!
Remove road humps.
For what reason, - more speed?
No, reduce pollution.
Reduce number of traffic lights to improve traffic flow.
No traffic lights on motorways
I don’t do all my mileage on the motorway and neither does anyone else?
Make public transport more affordable to encourage greater use.
Public transport is already cheap, it just isn’t friendly
I don’t know what it costs in your neck of the woods but I don’t consider it cheap in London and I know that in some rural parts it is very expensive.
Get rid of WTD.
But you want to keep the main part. Breaks at 6 hours, max 10 hours night working.
And? Bring it under one set of regs. You did read my other stuff didn’t you?
Introduce proper driver training.
I doubt Peter Smythe. Flair or Advantage will agree
I’m sure Peter will agree with what I say and I think you’re being deliberately obtuse or are drunk!
I still want reduced daily rests to allow us to be flexible. Nine and Eleven are good
Tuff! I’m the guvnor and I’ve binned it! See what the original question was… 
Make Jeremy Clarkson my deputy.
Ken.

If you were transport minister for the day…
…I’d take the day off, kick back in my country pad and maybe shoot a few peasants.

2 Get rid of 99.9% of roundabouts as most drivers don’t know to use them.Keep he ones at the end of motorway slip roads only.
As much of a pain as they might be to negotiate, they are better than traffic lights in most cases and prevent us getting stuck behind stationary traffic waiting to turn right.

Roundabouts on their own, no problem with that. When they stick traffic lights on 'em…what’s the point 
Switch traffic lights off between 00:00 and 05:00. They don’t mean much to me when I’ve just finished work and I’m rushing home at beer o’clock anyway. Green means go, red means go faster to minimise the chance of a collision.
if i was a dictator for the day. this would make me, transport minister, prime minister, head of state, and head of everything.
- i would ban hi vis clothing.
- speed limits would be outlawed.
- if you drive faster than you are capable, then you will be shot.
- if you drive too slow, then you will be shot.
- fuel will be the cheapest in europe.
- the gas, oil, water, railways, haulage, and communications will be state owned.
- there will be no tachograph regulations.
- before you can drive a truck, you must become competent in vehicle maintenance, and roping and sheeting.
- if a foreign official fines one of our drivers, then there will be a state of war.
Re the removal of speed humps… as a regular passenger in the cab, one that doesn’t have a nice bouncy suspension seat, I am all in favour of this one, 10 hours in the cab yesterday has done my back no favours at all 
I would,
Make central reservation higher so the car drivers can’t ruberneck.
Switch off ALL matrix signs, as they are never accurate, and tend to cause more hold ups than they solve.
Instead of constantly dishing out 3 points and £60 fines for speeding, their should be more police/vosa on the motorway, of a driver is doing somthing wrong, pull him, point out his mistake and flag him up on a data base. If he is pulled again for another offence he then has 28 days to register with an approved driving school and carry out a set amount of driving tuition, at the drivers own expense and own time.
i would introduce an online betting system.
you could log on to various starting points. dover, felixstowe, cairnryan, calais, milan, etc.
bets will be taken on which driver gets to his destination the quickest.
the driver will take a cut from paddy power, 888. or any of the other online betting companies.
the operator (me, the dictator) will then get sponsorship royalties.
light trailer / caravan mot’s are a must to bring out.
the number of clapped out home made s**t i see around here overloaded with bales / livestock / scrap is unbelieveable.
there was one only a few weeks ago that was a twin axle but had removed the rear axles tyres on both sides so was towing with only one axle on the ground.
