LKW-Fahrer und Trucker Facebook group which brings together German truckers published 10 commandments of a driver.

Here they are:

  1. Respect your driving license and do not risk losing it!
  2. Remember that you make a living from driving and the driving license is your work permit!
  3. There are no other gods above rules! Also your boss and dispatcher have to respect and observe them.
  4. Do not be afraid of the boss and the dispatcher. Do not pay them false respect. They should be afraid of you – you can report them to the police and relevant authorities if they break the law.
  5. Remember that you have such power and do not hesitate to use it.
  6. Even if it’s difficult, stick to statutory work and rest times. You and other traffic users have only one life and health!
  7. Avoid alcohol, lack of caution, counterfeit documents, swindlers and gross negligence – otherwise you will go to prison faster than you think!
  8. Remember about safe distance and to wear seatbelts. It’s important for your health and life.
  9. Treat your truck like a best friend. Care for it so that it always has what it needs!
  10. Avoid anything that involves fines and penalty points! If you get too many of them, it will not only cost you a lot of money, but you can also suffer more serious consequences.
