Part of the article covered EU Regulation EC561/2006, which came into effect in April 2007, and aimed to establish clear and common rules on driving times, rest and break periods. It also covered the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations, which aimed to improve the health and safety of the workforce, and road safety in general.
