I have a question that someone might be able to give me some advice on. If you run out of working hours and are unable to return to depot. What are the rules to return to depot reference a company vehicles coming to fetch you. I was always under the impression, you are unable to drive the car back but you can be a passenger, please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance

The bit in blue is the reason for this answer -
You MUST have a night out - if vehicle does not have suitable sleeping facilities then it’s digs/hotel etc.
Any travelling, even as a passenger, is OTHER WORK.
Of course if it’s DRIVING hours you run out of then it would be ok to be driven or to drive yourself back to base in a car- so long as you don’t exceed the duty limits.
