SPLITTING BREAKS


Many drivers are committing an offence by not taking their breaks in the correct manner.

Latest legislation states:

You can no longer take three 15 minute breaks, or take a 30 minute break first and 15 minutes second.

If you do wish to split your breaks, you must take a minimum of 15 minutes first, and then a minimum of 30 minutes as a second break.

You are risking a fine if stopped by VOSA, and persistent offenders are risking points on their licence.
