  • driver licensing
  • drivers’ hours
  • in-service testing
  • seat belts
  • speed limiters
  • tachographs
  • vehicle licensing
  • vehicle standards

The guide is not a legal document and for details of the law you’ll need to refer to the relevant legislation or seek independent legal advice.
