Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the Community regulation (Regulation (EC) 561/2006) governing driving and rest times, the maximum limit of uninterrupted or continuous driving is 4 and a half hours (4 hours and 30 minutes). Once this period has been reached, the driver is required to take a break of at least 45 uninterrupted minutes, unless they begin a daily rest period. This break may also be split into two parts during or at the end of the driving period, always respecting the mandatory order: first a break of at least 15 minutes and then another of at least 30 minutes. Therefore, the options setting limits of 4 or 6 continuous hours are incorrect.
