Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the Community Regulation governing driving and rest times in road transport (Regulation (EC) 561/2006): The regular weekly rest period is at least 45 consecutive, uninterrupted hours. The option of at least 24 consecutive hours corresponds to the reduced weekly rest period (which requires the hours not rested to be compensated before the end of the third following week). The 36-hour option does not exist as a regulatory category for weekly rest under this regulation. Therefore, since this is a regular weekly rest period, the mandatory minimum duration is 45 consecutive hours.
