WHAT HAPPENS IN EMERGENCIES?

Provided that road safety is not jeopardised and to enable you to reach a safe stopping place, you may depart from the rules, but ONLY to the extent necessary to ensure the safety of persons, the vehicle or its load. An emergency only applies in cases where it unexpectedly becomes impossible to comply with the working time rules and you must record all reasons for exceeding the limits.
