Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulation (EC) 561/2006 sets two limits: weekly driving time must not exceed 56 hours (Article 6(2)) and driving time over two consecutive weeks must not exceed 90 hours (Article 6(3)). If 50 hours have been driven in one week, in order not to exceed the 90 hours of two consecutive weeks, only a maximum of 40 hours may be driven the following week (90 50 = 40). Driving 54 or 56 hours would mean accumulating 104 or 106 hours in two weeks, above the limit.
