The temporary derogation from certain rules concerning the driving and resting times for drivers of commercial vehicles will expire at 23:59 on 30 January.


From 31 January, operators and drivers must comply with the normal rules applicable to driving and resting times for drivers of commercial vehicles.


The Department of Transport and the RSA will maintain contacts with the road haulage representative associations and will continue to monitor on-going developments relating to any further exceptional measures that may be required in respect of the EU drivers’ hours rules arising from Brexit and the COVID pandemic.
