Doesn’t matter how much driving you do In a shift. Before you have done 6 hours working you need to take a 30 min break. you can then carry on working untill you have done 9 hours or your driving time reaches 4.5 hours then you need another 30 min break.this then resets your driving time and working time meaning you can then do 6 more hours before a break is needed. .
Obviously if you reach you 4.5 driving you need to stop.
You can take 15 mins as a break . Then 30 mins. But if you take 15 you still need to stop regardless before 6 hours for half an hour.
If your job doesn’t involve much driving hours best to take 30 mins then 30 mins.
I was thinking just like you, before I asked people in private.
First six hrs which ever comes first 4.5 hr or 6 hrs you need 15 and than only think for the next 6 hr if your driving times comes first than 30 minutes and by second 6 hr you still didn’t drove for 4.5 hr than it’s another 15 minutes. Goodluck
