Social law in road transport like tool safety road transport

Abstract

The mission of the specialized requirements of social law in road transport is to ensure that the driver's work regime is in line with the specific requirements of the road transport transport process and also contributes to the improvement of road safety. Currently, the requirements of social legislation in the EU and the AETR contracting states are largely unclear from the driver's position. The aim of the contribution is to verify, on the basis of an analysis of social requirements for drivers in other countries, the hypothesis that regulatory requirements in EU and AETR contracting states are considerably more complicated than in selected other countries. The contribution analyses the impact of the limitations of social law in road transport on the work of drivers. It analyses requirements for freight transport drivers in the EU and compares them with requirements in chosen countries (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) and with requirements imposed on AETR contracting parties. The article also points to the fact that some of the requirements of social legislation in road waste are causing a reduction in road safety.
