Question 1 of 16
1. Question
Why are goods vehicle drivers’ hours of work controlled?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Drivers need to be alert at all times. Fatigue is a recognised danger for professional drivers, so working conditions are governed by EU rules. These set a maximum driving time and minimum requirements for rest and break periods. Setting limits on the length of time a driver can work combats fatigue and so helps road safety.

What does controlling goods vehicle drivers’ hours help to improve?

EU drivers’ hours regulations are a series of rules that specify maximum driving time and minimum rest and break periods. These rules are in place to help road safety. Drivers who break them are subject to heavy fines and could lose their licence to drive lorries.

Question 4 of 16
4. Question
You must have enough tachograph charts with you for your journey. When do you need to start a new chart?

If you’re using a vehicle equipped with an analogue tachograph, you’ll need at least one chart for every 24 hours. Your employer should supply you with enough tachograph charts for your entire journey.

Question 5 of 16
5. Question
What period of time does one tachograph chart cover?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Your tachograph chart is a legal document; it’s a record of your work covering a rolling 24-hour period. Drivers who break the rules are subject to heavy fines and could lose their vocational licence. Altering your tachograph chart with intent to deceive is against the law and could lead to a prison sentence. Similar penalties exist for those who permit such offences.

Question 6 of 16
6. Question
What should you do if your tachograph chart becomes dirty or damaged?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If your current tachograph chart becomes damaged, you should start another and then attach it to the damaged one. Your records must be clear and up to date at all times. It’s sensible to carry more tachograph charts than you think you’ll need for your journey. Then you’ll be able to use a spare if one becomes dirty or damaged.

7. Question
During your break, your vehicle will be moved by another person. What should you do with the tachograph chart?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If your vehicle is likely to be used by another person while you’re away from it, you should take your tachograph chart with you. Your break from driving should be entered on the reverse of the chart.

9. Question
You’re driving a lorry on a motorway and you start to feel drowsy. What should you do when there are no service areas or exits for some distance?
CorrectIncorrectHint
During very cold weather, it’s tempting to have the heating in the cab turned on full. Be aware that this may help to make you feel drowsy, especially after you’ve eaten a meal. Open the window slightly to let in some fresh air until it’s safe for you to stop and rest.
