December 2010. M1 motorway with views of a jack-knifed Eddie Stobart artic.

Woodhead Pass was closed due to sheet ice. Didn't find out till I was halfway up.
Option 1 - Turn around and run out of driving hours.
Option 2 - Wait for a couple of hours and hope for a trouble free run back to the yard.

  • is that an eddie in the ditch

  • @1010griffin1010

    It sure is. Was like that for a few days until they got a chance to drag it back out.

  • I dont understand 15 Hours? I am just learning to pass my LGV and though you had a maximum driving time of 10 hours?

  • @AyJaX

    You are correct in saying that your maximum driving time is 10 hours but the 15 yours is your maximum duty time between the start and finish of your shift. Minimum rest = 9 hours in 24 hour period. 24 - 9 = 15.

  • I hope we don't have another winter like this. Was there even anywhere you could turn around on the pass?

  • @KaneeJB

    I could turn round at the place I parked up but would have run out driving hours going the long way home. So I waited there. If they had taken any longer opening the road I would have just pulled my curtains and slept there.
