If anyone is in any doubt as to why there is a driver shortage this video could help them to understand why. Limited to "only" working 15 hour spreadover per day and these devices enable the driver to work longer than that, all whilst being away from your family for days on end, sleeping where you work and eating crap food. And all for an hourly rate the same or less as paid as in an Amazon fulfilment centre. Then lets get onto all the fines you could easily rack up as a driver....speeding, defective truck (you might not know about it) illegal goods in transit VOSA fines......is the shortage becoming apparent yet?
Checking your mirrors would be a careless driving error ? What the fuck ? That's what drivers are taught to do constantly. Can you keep us up to date with this ? Any news yet ?
Nearly wasn't for me. I went to a place early morning to drop stuff off, and had to wait there. So went for a day out. Then had to drive back at night. Took me close to 15 hours! But had only driven 4.15mins that day. If I had had to take my 45min break, I would have been over 15 hours shift. Then stuck in the cab for 9 hours, to drive a few more mins home!
There is no 15h ahift! You mix up things. Contracts are 40h weekly. Actually you can make only 48h average in 4 months with the new mobility pack and it was not something new. it's a legislation of any workers in Europe with small differences on rights and obligations. 15h or 13h in maximun 24h ( tachograph normative ) is a time wich drivers must take as reference to know when should stop and take the daily rest wich is a obligation by law. If it happens to have to wait for load or unload, pressure must be done to fix those things and not getting in trouble with legislation and even go to jail! ...
@@non-of-your-bussines 48 hours working time is based on a reference period (usually 26 weeks but can vary) not on a per week basis. Also, if you use a split daily rest (3 hours uninterrupted break during the shift and 8 hours daily rest) you could potentially work a 15 hour shift every day
Romanian that will do nicely! But the fine £540 for fraud, manipulated a tacho etc etc a British driver would be straight to jail for probably 2 years what a load of tosh..
This isn't only dangerous, but as well unfair against businesses working together with the authorities to protect the economy. Shame on those cheating and risking everything for their own wellbeing.
Yeah if it wasnt for the Old Tacho one could earn some serious wedge ! Just last week I had to cut through the middle of Wales down small shitty roads just to get back in time, sometimes is too strict.
Sort of, but really they also see it as a very lucrative business. Honest drivers who make honest mistakes will be massively penalised also. The tachograph is a CASH COW for VOSA.
How the fuck does a tachograph measure tiredness. If driving hours is so important, then why are car and van drivers exempt. Why are professional drivers lives being put at risk by tired drivers and the police. If one was being cynical they would think the hgv driver is seen as a cash cow.
Thankless job treated like shit by everyone hense why I'm quitting after 20 years on the road and driving forklifts for the same wage from now on

@@boblotoldo3051 lol.. got to agree..the politician elite are fucking dumbed down..
@@boblotoldo3051 thats what i was told mate.. If ypu checking antrving then ypu are wrong
Didn't even know this kinda thing was possible. Amazing
the Tachographs have done a better job of punishing legit drivers who dont take this piss by being a pain in the arse to use and understand.
And this is the real reason why nobody wants to go into this job it's the only job were you get fines for doing it this job is finished
looooooooonnnnnggg hours and shit pay ....mhhhh wants to go into this job WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
Polish Driver , typical , if it not running bent , it's drinking as they are driving .
I'm polish and I love taking all your English jobs whilst you work all day and pay for my family here who are on benifits 😂
Connor is a common Polish christian name is it lol
Great job ❤️❤️
Great job ❤️
I don't know why any driver would wanna do this, isn't 9 hours driving and 15 hour shifts enough??
Because of company pressure and wage rewards

Because they don't want to get fired.

Jail would give you everything for free. Free housing free food and a great lifestyle why not
Very nice work
I wonder why there trucks are so dirty in that country

Don’t be a knob. I’ve never yet met a business that has any time for the. “authorities” . All they do is fuck folk over.
They will never catch me out ,and only costs pennys...
OHH yes safety.. all about safety.. we hardly even turn a profit at all from enforcement >_>

Perhaps you are interpreting the law the wrong way ?
Guess they've got those jerks over there too
Why all the negative comments?the DVSA are trying to make the roads safer by stopping drivers running bent FFS

Because they’re Wankers

The main cause of lorry accidents are other cars
Also they didn't have to go through that much trouble to see it when he was driving it when he wasn't supposed to
Aren't they salary paid anyway?
No hourly... If they were salaried I doubt they would push to work as many hours as possible.
that obd2 device can be only a data collector
No, it's a bidirectional communication port.
Leave the Lorry Drivers a loan, I Fucking Give up, Tacos check every day, Car Steerers should have Tacos,
Thank you for raising awareness.
7 dislikes from foreign drivers, I assume...

I bet the Christmas night out is just fucking hilarious with these laugh a minute serial fellators!
