One driver logged on at 3am Saturday morning and was still out at 5am this morning when I knocked off. For him to start at 3am he must've got up at 2am then driven all the way from Derby to Sutton. Around 4am this morning he got a Nottingham off the rank, we all thought he would make his way over to Derby and log off because he was closer to Derby. Did he hell as like, at 5:30am he was coming back to Sutton to carry on working and on 28 hours working time. He's an accident waiting to happen. |

Our council are telling us that we must log drivers hours. They haven't told us what to do with the information yet. |

You say Loged on so he must be working for a company ? It should be them telling him to log off and go home. Dont think much of any company that would not. Its there name if there is a accident. |

There are drivers here who regularly do 24 hour shifts.. Probably only a matter of time before someone falls asleep at the wheel and kills themselves or their passengers. |

One of our drivers took a Stanstead pick up, flight landing a 23.30, at about 10.30 today. By the time the punter clears customs etc, and the car gets back to here, it will be about 3.00am at the earliest. I wonder if dead punters can pay.

The company taking the bookings also has a duty of care not only to its staff and contractor, but to its customers. There's the chance that in the event of a fatal accident, corporate manslaughter charge could well follow if the company KNEW the driver had worked excessive hours. |

I agree, but after the 1000th time of reporting such incidents I think f*** it. |

Correct you allow the driver to work for those hours you are equally guilty and will a do minimum 5 max of 7 stretch and hopefully be banned for life from having a proprietors license and an individual one
