Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

EU rules on driving and rest times (Regulation (EC) 561/2006) set two strict time limits: driving time in a single week must not exceed 56 hours, and accumulated driving time over two consecutive weeks must not exceed 90 hours. If 32 hours were driven in the first week, the theoretical difference up to the two-week limit of 90 hours would be 58 hours (90 32 = 58). However, the maximum weekly limit of 56 hours prevails, so the driver must not exceed 56 hours in the second week under any circumstances.
