Kin el, and i got thrown the keys to 7.5tonner 20 years ago and given the customers to call on, no tacho instructions, not even an hours driving instruction, and had to weigh it weekly as it was fully loaded with truck and trailer parts.

Correct. I'd ask grandad if your driver has the DCPC. If she only works a few hours a week she may be exempt from drivers hours, but will certainly need to keep tacho records of the private hire work.

There's 2 cases regarding errant restricted licence holders in this week's RouteOne magazine; one has been banned from operating for a very long time, the other has been given a second chance to get it right.

Yes, the driver has a DCPC and we keep tacho records and 10 weekly inspections etc.

Good-oh, glad to see at least 1 restricted licence holder obeying the law!
