Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (Article 6(1)), the daily driving time must not exceed 9 hours, although it may be extended to a maximum of 10 hours no more than twice during the same week (Monday to Sunday). It is therefore permitted to reach 10 hours, but only a maximum of twice a week. Six 10-hour days must not be strung together, nor must one drive without respecting the mandatory breaks. Nor must the daily limit be exceeded at will by taking a break every two hours: the regulatory breaks are at least 45 minutes after four and a half hours of driving (Article 7), and taking more frequent breaks does not allow the daily limits to be exceeded.
