Got a bloke in our office drives on occasion for Rm doing parcels yet he works nights on the machines. Strictly illegal as you have to have 11 hours between shifts. They don't care.
You are required to have an 11 hour break between driving and continuing to drive under European Driving Regulations but you can on 2 occasions you can have a 9 hour break but if this person is delivering parcels and working nights on the machines continuously then this person is breaking the law and if RM is turning a blind eye to this knowing full well that this is happening then they also is breaking the law.
Yes I know this already but it still goes on.
