Free drivers' hours and tachograph course
Passed your LGV test? Learn the rules that keep you legal once you're driving for a living: drivers' hours, tachographs and the Working Time Directive. Free, online, at your own pace.
Why it matters
Fatigue slows your reactions much like alcohol does. Drivers' hours rules stop tiredness building up, and tachographs prove the rules are being followed.
Getting them wrong can mean a roadside prohibition, a fine, points against your employer's operator licence or, in serious cases, losing your licence. Employers want new drivers who already understand them.
What the course covers
Each module ends with a short knowledge check that doesn't count towards your result.
Who do these rules apply to?
EU and AETR drivers' hours rules
GB domestic rules
Mixed working
The Working Time Directive
Tachographs in practice
Records, roadside checks and enforcement
Fatigue and real-world scenarios
