Just been reading this

The cop in charge says there needs to be a review of GB hours rules.

Hang on.... what about EU hours rules? Surely the TC needs to take the operator to the cleaners? Unless I don't know about some exemption for PSV (and I admit I know nothing of PSV) then surely they are limited to the same hours as everyone else with an OL?

Also, how the actual f**k has the doctor who signed this guy off for his licence not been sent to prison. The whole thing stinks!!!!

Yeah I recall something like 50k total route but doing 75 hour weeks he had to be driving more than that. I hope the TC rips them a new one.

I am amazed that in this case corporate manslaughter charges are not being considered
Fully agree. If I have ever seen a case where the book needs to be hurled at great speed at everyone involved this is it.

The directors, the TM, the GP. All 3 should be in the dock.
