View the feedback we have received on the Heavy Vehicle National Law statutory instruments consultation paper.

• Consultation question – Section 4

  If you insist on the 8 hour total instead of 7, then you must allow us to decide how long we need or want to sleep. Why can't we have 4 plus 4 then, again based on the comments above.

• Consultation question – Section 4(b)

  I agree, but then the only options for use are listed as emergency or exceptional circumstances. You must be aware of circadian rhythms, the efforts to suggest power naps and the like, but what if a driver is delayed at a site and can get good rest, then complete the full hours later, or simply feels fatigue coming on, but can't, won't or is unable to take thew full 7 hour break at that time. I agree it must not be scheduled, that it should not be used regularly, but please do not simply take away another chance to better allow us to manage our fatigue.

• Do you have any feedback specific to the draft Ministerial Standard for Alternative Compliance Hours?
