answer text <p>The Department for Transport is determined to help keep supply chains moving up and down the country despite COVID-19. That is why we authorised a temporary relaxation of the enforcement of the drivers’ hours rules for the whole haulage industry; which began on Monday 23 March 2020 and will run until Sunday 31 May 2020.

Employers remain responsible for the health and safety of their employees and other road users.</p><p> </p><p>We have not relaxed the drivers’ hours rules in the passenger transport sector.</p> more like this
