REGULATION ON BUS DRIVERS REST PERIOD
Published at 25.10.2009 in Safety, Social aspects
Oct-09.indd The new regulation on coach and bus services, adopted by the Council of Ministers, restores the possibility to work 12 consecutive days, instead of six days currently, before having to take a mandatory rest period.
Oct-09.inddHowever, 12 day-work is limited to an occasional single international journey, making it impossible to combine two six-day trips without a rest between them. The Commission may propose new rules within three years if road safety appears to be threatened by the new regulation.
