The current law draft proposal is going to ban the regular weekly rest (45 hours) in the cabin of the truck or in any unsuitable accommodation. Considering this, the total fine can go up to \u20ac2700 for the driver and \u20ac8100 for the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>France<\/strong> the rule is similar, although the fines are definitely higher. If failing to comply to the new regulations, both the driver and carrier can be sentenced up to a year in prison and a fine of 30.000\u20ac.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Belgium<\/strong>, for the same situation, the fines can go up to 1800\u20ac, while in the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong> the situation is still being discussed: although sleeping in the truck cab has been prohibited time ago and the fines can go up 1300\u20ac, the law has not been enforced yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/european-countries-ban-sleeping-in-truck-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1537\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/european-countries-ban-sleeping-in-truck-1.jpg\" alt=\"european-countries-ban-sleeping-in-truck-1\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/european-countries-ban-sleeping-in-truck-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/european-countries-ban-sleeping-in-truck-1-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Germany is the latest to apply this new regulation, shortly preceded by neighbours <strong>Austria<\/strong>.
