Drivers' Hours EC 561/2006
Drivers' Hours EC 561/2006
Truly the core driver CPC module, the one that every commercial driver should attend in every five year training cycle.
We teach these regs in a refreshingly different way, a way in which most drivers will have never experienced them being taught before.
We explore, in depth, the level of detail necessary to enable a driver to truly and confidently be able to state that they've got a full understanding of the Drivers' Hours regulations.
A basic overview, so just some of the subjects, we cover in methodical detail within this module :
The Fixed Week
Understanding the "fixed week" is an absolutely essential part of understanding the drivers' hours regulations.
The Working Week
The maximum length of a driver's working week.
We dispel a widely held misunderstanding.
Driving Limits
Daily, weekly and fortnightly driving limits, and of vital importance, how to apply them on the job.
Breaks
What breaks from driving a driver must take, when they must take them and how they must take them.
Daily Rest
The daily rest requirements, including split daily rest, and very importantly how to correctly calculate your daily rest.
Weekly Rest
The legal requirements for weekly rest, reducing weekly rest and real world explanations of how to go about compensating for (that is paying back) reductions taken in your weekly rest.
Double Manning
We cover the rules around double manning, what's allowed and what is not.
"Ferry mode"
A proper explanation of exactly what "ferry mode" is, the do's and don'ts of "ferry mode" and how to use "ferry mode".
Article 12
The 12th article of EC 561/2006
The rules a driver MUST by law follow anytime they find themselves stepping outside of the regulations, due to unforeseen circumstances, beyond the driver's control.
