We don't have trucks in the UK, only lorries.

We also have EEC Regulations 3820/85 (drivers hours) and 3821/85
(tachographs)to comply with, but I suppose the Yank trucker who started
this thread wouldn't have had the intelligence to realise that(being a
Yank is what makes me think he's thick by the way, not the fact he's a
trucker!).
