(1) This section applies if, immediately before the commencement, the driver of a fatigue regulated heavy vehicle was subject to an alternative compliance scheme for the repealed regulation, part 2.
(2) Until the end of 28 September 2009, the driver may drive a fatigue regulated heavy vehicle under the alternative work and rest hours applying under the alternative compliance scheme if the driver complies with the conditions applying to the scheme under section 15(6) of the Act.
Note--
If the driver of a fatigue regulated heavy vehicle to which this section applies does not comply with the conditions mentioned in this subsection, part 3 of this regulation applies to the driver (unless the driver is driving under section 191 or 192).
(3) For applying this regulation to the driver of a fatigue regulated driver driving under subsection (2)--
(a) the driver's work and rest hours option is taken to be the alternative work and rest hours applying under the scheme; and
(b) other than for section 59, the driver is taken to be operating under maximum periods of work and minimum periods of rest applying to drivers of fatigue regulated heavy vehicles operating under a work and rest hours alternative compliance scheme.
(4) Subsections (2) and (3) stop applying to the driver if the driver starts operating under a 2008 regulation arrangement.
(5) In this section--
alternative work and rest hours, applying under an alternative compliance scheme for the repealed regulation, part 2, means the maximum driving times, maximum work times and minimum rest times applying to a person subject to the scheme that are different to the maximum driving times, maximum work times and minimum rest times that would otherwise apply to the person under the repealed regulation, part 2.
