Given that the plethora of legislation that comes out of Brussels has leaned very much to, some would say, the overzealous protection of the individual in all matters from food hygene to health and safety, just who or what 'dark force' is driving this EASA move that seems to go against all scientific opinion?
Granted, this is taken from an on-line encyclopedia:
The daily (lorry) driving time shall not exceed 9 hours. The daily driving time may be extended to at most 10 hours not more than twice during the week. The weekly driving time may not exceed 56 hours. In addition to this, a driver cannot exceed 90 hours driving in a fortnight. Within each period of 24 hours after the end of the previous daily rest period or weekly rest period a driver must take a new daily rest period.
Are these eurocrat buffoons seriously trying to impose working hour legislation that European lorry drivers don't even come close to? Follow the money, or in our case, the 'driver' behind these farcical proposals.
