Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulation (EC) 561/2006 sets the rules on driving and rest times in road transport. It defines the "regular weekly rest period" as one of at least 45 hours, and the "reduced weekly rest period" as any rest of less than 45 hours that may be reduced to an absolute minimum of 24 consecutive hours (Article 4(h)). That is why the correct definition is the one that speaks of a rest of less than 45 hours with a minimum of Describing the reduced rest as "more than 45 hours" is an error, because it contradicts the very nature of a reduction. And speaking of a "maximum of 24 hours" is one too, because 24 hours is the unbreachable minimum limit that the driver must rest.
