Examples of what Qualifies as a POA
The following examples qualify as a POA, as defined by the DfT.

When a mobile worker experiences a delay at a regional distribution centre or depot, waiting for someone to load or unload their vehicle; if they know about the length of the delay at the start of the period (because someone has told them; because they have arrived too early for their slot or because they always experience a delay at one of their regular customers).
If a mobile worker typically experiences a 1 hour delay at one of their regular customers, then this would count as a PoA. However, if they were to unexpectedly experience a 2 hour delay, then the second hour would count as working time. Unless the mobile worker was notified, before the end of the first hour, that a further hours delay was expected, in which case the second hour would also count as a POA.
Where a mobile worker reports for work, is informed that they are not required to undertake any duties for a specified period (albeit, they need to remain on site to answer calls and be ready to take up work), but is free to wait in the canteen or rest facility.
If the vehicle breaks down and the mobile worker is told how long it will take to be rescued.
Unless doing some other work (e.g. navigating), a relief driver who is travelling as a passenger would count this time as a period of availability. This time (or a part of it) could also be counted as a break, but would need to be recorded as such.
Traffic prohibitions that would count as a PoA include, for example, where the police have delayed the movement of an abnormal load for a set period of time, or where vehicles are banned from city centres during specified hours, and the driver has to park the vehicle and wait.
