I may have some temporary light van work lined up whilst I am waiting on my provisional to come back to me from DVLA.
In this case do I need to adopt GB domestic rules? I am presuming the van will be a Ford Transit or smaller. I also won’t need any special licences for this will I? (Current entitlement is only a car)
Cheers

If van is 3500 GVW or less than car licence ok
Should be under UK domestic regs = max in any 24 hours would be 10 hours driving within 11 hours working but as its all recorded by hand then …

But then how many of these ppl really follow domestic regs… sooner they bring in tacho’s for vans under 3.5t the better

Not many as most dont know they exists
vans and driving regulations 
just drive .drive drive then drive some more . everything needs to be there hours ago and when that’s delivered theres more .
I doubt the average White Van Man knows the domestic regs even exist. I’ve done driver’s mate work with a WVM and we did a 12 hour shift to London and back with no break.
Crack on drive 
Tachograph the bloody lot of them, why should truck drivers have to follow one set of rules , whilst theses van drivers don’t follow any rules…
Domestic ones… as its been said, most don’t even know they exist. If they got pulled, they’d probably lie through there teeth " I’ve only been driving a few hrs " then its your word agains the traffic office / the plod …theres no physical proof

as a van driver , I totally agree with the above .
