Drivers' Hours: HGV & Van

Plan your day against EU 561/2006 drivers' hours and UK Working Time (RTD 2005) rules — in real time, on your phone, with no subscription.

Built for both classic HGV work and the newer 2.5–3.5t international vans now in scope with a tachograph. If you're a courier or delivery driver touching a tacho for the first time, this gives you the same live timers, warnings and correction flow HGV drivers already rely on.

Tap Driving, Rest, Other work or Availability and Drivers' Hours does the maths:

- Countdown to your next 45-minute break (4h30 continuous driving), with 15+30 split breaks handled in the correct order.

- Daily driving left — 9 hours, or 10 hours on your two allowed days a week.

- This week (56h) and rolling two-week (90h) driving left.

- Daily rest and weekly rest deadlines (the 6 x 24-hour rule), counting down.

- Working Time (WTD) hours this week against the 60-hour individual-week limit, with cumulative break reminders (30 min after 6h, 45 min after 9h).

- A 17-week rolling WTD average against the 48-hour limit — most apps don't track this at all.

- Clear amber and red warnings before you run out — plus optional reminders that fire even when the app is closed.

Built for UK drivers: dd/mm/yyyy dates, a 24-hour clock and plain English — not the American mm/dd that other apps get wrong.

Forgot to switch mode? Every change is a single tap to correct on the timeline.

No subscription. A one-off purchase removes ads and unlocks PDF and CSV export of your log. Live status, timers and reminders are always free.

Your driving log stays on your device — no account, no cloud, no card reader, no tachograph download. (The free tier shows ads, which use an advertising identifier.)

Important — please read

This app is a planning aid, not the legal record. Your digital tachograph card and the data downloaded from it remain the only official record of your hours. Figures here are estimates from what you enter and can differ from the tacho analysis. The Working Time 48-hour figure is a rolling average over your last 17 recorded weeks; your employer's fixed reference period (17 weeks, or 26 by agreement) may differ, so treat it as a guide. Always check the tachograph.

For 2.5–3.5t vans: this app is for jobs that are actually in scope of EU 561/2006. It does not create an exemption and it does not replace the legal check on whether the van, route and carriage type require a tachograph.
