Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Regulation (EC) 561/2006, every professional driver subject to Community rules must take a weekly rest period after a maximum of six consecutive 24-hour periods from the end of the previous weekly rest. As a general rule, the regular weekly rest period must last a minimum of 45 consecutive and uninterrupted hours. The rules allow, exceptionally, a reduced weekly rest of at least 24 consecutive hours, the difference having to be compensated in a single block before the end of the third following week. The options of 22 or 38 hours do not correspond to any type of regulatory rest provided for by law.
