Out of hours question

Had a discussion the other day about a driver having exceeded 15 hrs duty.

He parked up and advised the office to be picked up with the Company van.

Has the law not changed recently where a driver can’t be picked up by a company vehicle and is to to return back as a passenger to the depot?

Is the driver not supposed to either park up to have his daily rest or to be collected by a taxi and driven to either a hotel or his home address (but not back to depot).

Looking forward to clarification, preferably with a link to the legislation.

Thanks for the link. Looks like the driver shouldn’t have been picked up then.
