A vehicle log book is a very detailed document with multiple sections that specify (not a full list) Driving lessons at night – if you have a driving lesson at night, the bonus hours do not count towards your ‘night driving hours’ in your log book. They can only count as daytime driving hours. All incidents must be reported along with the city and state where the incident occurred. Drivers should include all relevant information about the incident on this portion of the log. Record of Hours The 30 minutes break rule of FMCSA and DOT states that drivers must take a break of 30 consecutive minutes after 8 hours of driving. Take your latest MOT test certificate if your vehicle has to have an MOT every year. The certificate must be valid when the vehicle tax starts.
