This booklet provides advice to drivers and operators of passenger vehicles whether used privately or commercially. It explains the rules for drivers' hours and the keeping of records, and replaces booklet PSV 375 dated 7/2003. The booklet reflects enforcement policy in Great Britain- driver and operators who are involved in international operations are advised to check whether the other country or countries in which they operate produce equivalent guidance. We recommend that you contact the relevant embassy. This booklet is not intended as legal advice. If you wish to check on the legal position, you should refer to the main legislation in Section F and, if necessary, seek legal advice. Within the UK either UK domestic or EC rules may apply. For international journeys either the EC or AETR rules may apply. Which set of rules apply depends on the type of driving and the type of vehicle being used and, for international journeys, the countries to be visited. Refer to the following questions of this part of the guide to work out which rules might apply and then refer to the detailed advice. (Author/publisher)
