 So far as is reasonably practicable Lockton recommends not to  use the mobile phone at all when driving on company business.  If a phone must be used whilst driving then it can only be used  with the appropriate hands free kit in accordance with the  manufacturers and installers instructions and still remaining  used in compliance with the Rules of the Road. Any calls made  or received on mobile phones not using a hands free kit must  be completed with the vehicle stationary and properly parked.  Lockton Commitment  We are committed to following the guidelines and recommendations  of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) with  respect to our policy on business driving. This covers the various  aspects of driving on business. It is also recognised that each person  has different tolerances and endurances and these may vary from  day to day for each individual.  Driver Fatigue  No specific guidance is possible to give on the distance that may be  covered. What is required is that in the event that the individual  starts a journey they should plan a realistic journey time to reach the  destination/s driving within the speed limits and allowing for  adequate breaks in the journey, including overnight stops where  required.   As a guide, any journey, or section of a journey, which may  reasonably be expected to take over two hours to complete should  allow for a break. This is not a general rule for everyone, as some  people may start to feel tired sooner in a journey and they should  plan more breaks. Journeys should not be planned as to commence  at the end of the working day or immediately after a large meal.
