Booking for Driving
In a lengthy discussion it was clear that some drivers still found it necessary to book time for driving as early as possible, to enable leave and accommodation arrangements to be confirmed, whilst others found it difficult to arrange leave until later in the year.As an experiment it was agreed that bookings for up to three weeks would be confirmed as soon as possible, but further bookings would be held back until most drivers had had an opportunity to book.
