Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulation (EC) 561/2006 on driving and rest times establishes that driving time in a fixed week (from 00:00 on Monday to 24:00 on Sunday) must not exceed 56 hours. However, to avoid fatigue building up over the medium term, the total driving time over two consecutive weeks must never exceed 90 hours. For this reason, if a driver reaches the 56-hour cap in the first week, in the following week they may drive a maximum of only 34 hours (90 56 = 34 hours). The options of 80 or 100 hours are incorrect because the exact regulatory figure set by Community legislation is 90 hours.
