The Road Traffic (Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue) Regulations 2008  set new work and rest limits for heavy vehicle drivers and require better management of driver fatigue. If you drive a heavy vehicle with a gross vehicle mass over 12 tonnes or a bus with more than 12 adult seats including the driver’s, these laws apply to you. The drivers’ work/ rest details must be recorded in a Work Diary - the National Driver Work Diary.

You must fill in a Work Diary unless your journey is within a radius of 100 kilometres from the place of business from which your vehicle normally operates.

Note: If the driver base is not recorded, the driver base will be taken to be the garaged address of the regulated heavy vehicle.

You can obtain the National Driver Work Diary, upon payment of the required fee, from:
