cheers everyone thats a great help. Its amazing how much rubbish you get told over this subject. They really should have a compulsary test on the law and driving hours, not just a couple of multiple choice questions in a theory test a 5 year old could pass.

Maybe the new driver CPC will include it - don’t hold your breath though as that would be sensible

Now what would the ministry have to say about going over for this reason,
I’m a bit rusty these days as I currently live in digi tacho land but the words that come to my mind are;
a) hold on driver, I need to get my Prohibition pad.
b) You don’t have to say anything, however, anything you do say…etc
OK, I might not use either a or b in the circumstances you describe regarding reaching the port. Although as I know there are plenty of places to take a break before reaching Dover I can feel my pen itching to get writing However, your mate with 6 hour driving and a break of only 15 minutes will definitely hear option b. If this has been going on for some time then the employer also gets option b on the grounds of ‘permit.’
