What are the limits with regards to driver hours when hiring a Coach?
A coach hire may need a second driver when the following is exceeded. The driver must have a break of not less than 45 minutes after 4.5 hours of driving. The driver can only drive for 9 hours in a day – then must have a 10 hour break before driving again. The Maximum time on duty (irrespective of the ‘driving hours’) is 15 hours. These laws are in place for good reason. Do not try to encourage the driver to break these rules.
