Both have a duty board showing exactly what they should be doing, the duties will be on a rota whereby the daily and weekly rest will be shown, so why should the driver of the 685 be under different regulations just because he is going more than 50km?
Here here. Why should things be different for one driver to another. Hence the splitting of the 85/685 amongst others now. Makes all drivers at the depot equal.
