Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the European rules on driving and rest times (Regulation (EC) 561/2006), the regular daily rest period must be a minimum of 11 consecutive hours within the 24-hour period. However, the law allows this regular daily rest to be split into two blocks, provided a strict rule is met: the first must be at least 3 uninterrupted hours and the second a minimum of 9 uninterrupted hours (3 9 scheme, totaling 12 hours). Splitting it into blocks of 2 and 8 hours is not legal. And requiring 11 uninterrupted hours only when the rest is reduced is a mistake: the reduced daily rest is the one that lasts at least 9 hours but less than 11.
