Over 4.5T GVM includes, trucks and large coach conversions into motorhomes but are more lenient in the categories under 12T GVM both with inspection and fatigue laws.
Do work and rest limits apply to me if my vehicle is not a fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle?
No. Drivers of vehicles between 4.5t and 12t are not subject to prescribed work and rest limits; however, they are legally required to ensure they are not impaired by fatigue when driving a fatigue-regulated vehicle.
Ideally if you are building anything big to go travelling in, keep it under 12T GVM so it doesn't fall under the fatigue laws.
However keeping a log maybe still apply.
