The coroner's concerns
1. driving while fatigued
“Delivery van drivers (of vehicles under 3.5 Tonnes) are not subject to the current Working Time Regulations. However, as in this case, a driver could be required to work up to 11 hours a day. Whilst employers can stipulate that their drivers should take a 30-minute break there is no legal requirement upon them to do so.”
