NEW WORKING TIME RULES FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVERS AND CREW New rules to ensure that commercial drivers and crew do not work too many hours were laid before Parliament today. The Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005 will further improve safety on our roads and help to make the road transport industry more attractive to new recruits. The new Regulations will come into force on 4th April 2005 and will apply to commercial drivers and crews of Heavy Goods Vehicles and Public Service Vehicles in Great Britain. Transport Minister David Jamieson said: ''These Regulations should deliver safety benefits for drivers and other road users, improve drivers'' working conditions and help make the road transport sector more attractive as a career choice. ''We have worked closely with industry and unions to ensure that the new arrangements are practical, clear and equitable. We intend to review the new rules in the light of operational experience to make sure that this remains the case.''
