Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The European and DGT regulations on driving and rest times (Regulation (EC) 561/2006) establish that the driving time accumulated over two consecutive weeks (two-week driving time) must in no case exceed 90 hours. Although the maximum driving limit in a single week is 56 hours, if that ceiling is reached in the first week, in the following week the remaining difference up to 90 must not be exceeded (90 56 = 34 hours). That is why the options of 45 or 50 hours are wrong, since they would exceed the accumulated two-week limit.
