Driving Hours Calculator

My Driving Hours is a website for those of us that don't have sophisticated tachograph download equipment and software to keep track of our driving and working hours.

If you're like me and want to finish work, go home like any other normal person and not have to spend inordinate amounts of unpaid time recording and calculating drivers hours, the WTD, last weeks driving and working hours, paybacks and other details that you need to track to comply with legislation, the My Driving Hours Driver Calculator is a real benefit. I also found that with the increasing amount of legislation that has come our way; I needed to try to simplify the process, so I did.

The system is written based on EU rules and for single manned vehicles.

To use My Driving Hours you enter a few key pieces of information, start time, finish time, driving, working, POA and rest times and the system will calculate:

When you last worked and when you can start work again
When your last weekly rest started and finished, if it was a full or reduced rest and when you need to start your next weekly rest

How long you have driven, and how long you can drive this week
Your two weekly driving times
If and how many times you have increased your driving time this week

If and how many times you have reduced your daily rest periods this working period
How many hours you have worked over this working period
Your average time over the reference period

We also give you a graphical representation of the last three weeks.
