"They had been returning from a stag event in Leicestershire.

Surrey Police said one of the occupants called the AA after the minibus broke down at Junction 18 on the M1."

I still wonder how long the recovery driver had been working, J18 to of the M1 to Brighton is still a long way.

I stand corrected about the tacho.. a recent and welcome change, but would the hours previously worked within the 100kms limit be excluded from the booked tacho hours ??

As I understand it, no they wouldn't, you are supposed to make a manual entry on the back of the tacho, and stick to ALL driver's hours regs.  In reality, not sure how many would do this, unless something goes wrong, the chances of being caught are quite slim.

I now have to use a tacho every day I am working, even if I do not go 100km from my base, as the AA have taken the decision not to use the 100km exemption.
