DVSA says no fine if resting at official truckstops
From November, drivers will still be able to take their weekly rest breaks at official truckstops without risking a fine says the DVSA.
The DVSA issued the clarification to the Road Haulage Association after the latter expressed concern that fines could be imposed after a driver’s weekly rest was taken even in a truckstop or motorway service area rather than in laybys or elsewhere. The RHA asked for clarification from the DVSA and the Department for Transport that in-cab weekly rests taken in official truckstops would not result in fines.
