relax 2m restrictions for passengers in work vehicles
Few works vehicles allow for 2m distance between driver and passenger
A trip in works vehicle with both having acess to appropriate PPE would take approx 30 mins either direction and would have seen us in no closer proximity than a taxi
Buses allowed for a little more distance at times but even just now with lighter passenger numbers, were in no way 2m at all times
Instead of 30 mins, partly thanks to the time between interchange buses I spent 3 hours on trip to the site and a further 3 hours on the return Mixing with approx 50 other people on various buses as part of the process versus one person had we used the works vehicle

Why the contribution is important
Far greater risk being forced to use public transport than as a passenger in a works vehicle
the contact tracing requirements using public transport would amount to over 50 unknown 1st level contacts each day versus a single known 1st level repeat contact using the works vehicle
The alternative will be a multiplication of the number of works vehicles on the roads, as such public transport travel times in order to reach clients just aren't viable

In reply to Badhairdays - Re-engineering works vans to turn people sideways is not to be encouraged as it increases the risk and significance of neck injury in the event of an accident.
