Paul Gavan:
Can anyone give me the definitive rules on where you can and can’t have a weekly rest break please? UK and Euro interpretation would be great, thank you
Legally you cannot have a regular weekly rest period in the cab and a weekly rest period cannot be interrupted to board/disembark a ferry or train, so if you’re having a weekly rest period on a ferry it needs to be started and finished on the ferry.
As far as I’m aware most if not all EU countries are now enforcing the no regular weekly rest period in the cab rule, I don’t know how strictly it’s enforced but hopefully someone will be along shortly who does know.
