Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The European regulations on driving and rest times (Regulation (EC) 561/2006) stipulate two key limits: driving time in one week must not exceed 56 hours, and the accumulated driving time in two consecutive weeks must not exceed 90 hours. Therefore, if a driver uses up the weekly maximum of 56 hours in the first week, the following week they will only have the remaining difference up to the permitted two-week total of 90 hours: 90 56 = 34 hours. The options of 45 or 50 hours are incorrect because they would far exceed that 90-hour accumulated cap.
