begins at the start of that particular duty period
The maximum daily duty limit is 15 hours • A driver is exempt from the daily duty limit on any
working day when he/she does not drive• A driver is also exempt from the daily duty limit if
he/she does not drive for more than 4 hours on each day of the week

How does it work ? The WTD calculations start on or after 00.00 hours Monday This is exactly the same time as the EU Drivers’
Hours calculation
Your travelling time to and from work is not included in any calculations for these regulations
The recording of WTD time begins when you start recording your duty time for payment purposes, such as;
• Daily pre-driving checks, washing or cleaning of the vehicle, any other duties in the depot
• The calculations stop when you finish your duty and have ceased paid work
