From a drivers viewpoint, many of us have been held up on country roads by lorries travelling at what is considered a slow speed and the new regulations will hopefully de-stress and reduce risky overtaking manoeuvres from impatient drivers wanting to get past. We also need to remember why the lorry is there, and some thought given to the fact that however much of a pain you may think they are, if they were taken off the road the shelves in most shops would be empty within a day or two.
Many issues that feature in our news section may be of concern to you as an employer if you employ company drivers. It is important that you, as a company, are fully compliant with your responsibilities to those employees.
