In transport subject to the rules on driving and rest times, what must the duration of the regular daily rest period be?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with Regulation (EC) 561/2006 on the harmonization of social legislation in the road transport sector, the regular daily rest period must be at least 11 consecutive hours within the 24-hour period. Alternatively, this regular daily rest may be split into two periods: the first of at least 3 uninterrupted hours and the second of at least 9 uninterrupted hours (totaling 12 hours). In addition, the regulation allows a reduced daily rest of at least 9 hours (but less than 11 hours) up to a maximum of three times between two weekly rest periods. Therefore, the figures of 8 or 10 hours do not correspond to the regulatory definition of a regular daily rest.
