Driving from yard to ferry - a whole work day?

Hurryup&wait:
When I have done 45 hours rest my weekly rest is over and at time 45 hours and 1 minute I am not interrupting weekly rest.

Agree.

Hurryup&wait:
When the control checks for weekly rest he looks for a portion of normal rest that meets the 2 qualifying criteria.

  1. Is it required?

Sorry, I don`t see that point.
If it was a break during the day would it only count if it was required? Surely there is no minimum work (maybe one minute?) required before ending one break and starting another?

You finish a weekend rest when you do any work no matter how brief.
There`s nothing, I can see to stop you commencing another weekend rest after just one minute of work is there?

Hurryup&wait:
I get another 45 hrs rest Tuesday and Wednesday. Was that a weekly rest?

Yes.
Any period of 24hrs or more will count as a weekly rest. I dont see any reason, it wouldnt .

Again, Ill repeat I am no expert*, but thats the way I see it.

*not at anything!
