I dare anyone here to try and understand all of the rules on drivers , the tachos the disks the sheets the check lists the downloads the weights and measures, the torque rules the drivers hours rules, the rest rules etc etc then look into how different countries adhere to these endless rules and how others do not and the different fines for different offences in different areas etc INSANE

So it would be easier for truckers travelling internationally to have to learn the individual rules of every single nation they pass through? Which might be completely different upon crossing each border?

I'm not saying you're wrong about there being too much red tape but this is the sort of problem that can only be solved from within. Not by picking up your ball and going home. Many truckers travel throughout Europe and are still going to be subject to EU regulations as soon as they leave the UK... Presumably.
