My Step-Dad is a lorry driver and on 30th November 2010 got stuck around A2/Dartford Crossing due to the heavy snow and abandoned cars. He was due a tacho break so pulled into a layby to wait but the police came and moved him on as the conditions were too bad. He moved anoth miles or so and stopped again but yet again got moved on by the police. In total he managed to pull in his 15 minutes however there were split into 5-6 minute breaks.
He had an inspection by the police last month and they saw this on his tacho and are now going to take him to court!
His tacho clearly shows he was stopped for 5-6 minutes then drove slowly for another 4-5 minutes then stopped again etc. He has the weather reports for the area but wondered if there is anywhere on the net you can find the historical road closures?
