Cap. 65 Art. 3Power of Minister to make orders limiting period of work by drivers of motor vehicles.

(1) With a view to protecting the public against the risks

which arise in cases where the drivers of motor vehicles are

suffering from excessive fatigue, the Minister on the advice of the

Authority for Transport in Malta may make orders prescribing the

continuous periods for which any person may drive or cause or

permit any person employed by him or subject to his orders to drive

any class of motor vehicle which may be specified in any such

order.

(2) Any order made under this article may be revoked or varied

by a subsequent order.

(3) Any person who acts in contravention of any order made by

the Minister under this article shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine (multa) not exceeding forty-six euro and fifty-nine cents (46.59):

Provided that it shall be a valid defence to any charge under this article if the person charged proves to the satisfaction of the court that the contravention was due to unavoidable delaying the completion of any journey, arising out of circumstances which he could not reasonably have foreseen.
