Poa and breaks

scally2:
Is it legal to do a 15 hour day with one 45 minute break if say you have six of those hours on poa eg start 0600 poa till 1200 work 5 hours till 1700 break 45 mins work till 2100 15 hour day one 45 min break as far as I can see your only working 8 hours 15 mins can someone clarify this for me thanks.

Yes it’s legal but it’s still a reduced daily rest period unless you’re multi-manning.

Actually as you’re not doing more than nine hours working time you could get away with a 30 minute break for the RT(WT)R, obviously not if you do more than 4.5 hours driving.
