1. Assimilated and AETR rules on drivers’ hours

How the assimilated/AETR drivers' hours rules for passenger carrying vehicles work.

The assimilated and AETR drivers’ hours and tachograph rules will continue to apply as before, even though the UK has left the EU.

The assimilated rules apply to journeys wholly within the UK.

The AETR rules apply to any international journey.

In this guide any reference to the assimilated rules means Regulation (EC) 561/2006 and Regulation (EU) 165/2014, as they have effect in the UK.
