In 2025, HGV drivers in the UK must continue to comply with strict regulations regarding driving hours and rest periods. These rules are designed to improve road safety, reduce fatigue, and ensure fair working conditions. Daily driving time must not exceed 9 hours, extendable to 10 hours twice a week. Weekly driving limits remain capped at 56 hours, with a maximum of 90 hours over two consecutive weeks. Drivers are required to take a break of at least 45 minutes after 4.5 hours of driving. Daily rest must be at least 11 hours, with reduced rest allowed under specific conditions. Understanding and respecting these rules is essential for both drivers and operators, as penalties for non-compliance can be severe.
