The Uk Department For Transport has introduced a “temporary and limited urgent relaxation” of the enforcement of EU drivers’ hours.
In a message issued this afternoon, the Department said that the measure was a response to pressures on local and national supply chains.
The temporary relaxations apply from 12:01am on 10 December 2020 until 11:59pm on 30 December 2020, and are subject to review.
