Would 6 on 2 off forever be legal?

Looking at a 6/2 rota above (I hope I have posted it) we have to remember that whilst it shows both working days and rest days filling whole 24hr periods in reality they do not.

In my rota A=Monday through to G=Sunday with an 8 week rolling rota & the red days are rest days.
We always start with a weekly rest as we can’t start our first days driving unless we have taken sufficient break.
So to make things easy this driver works a 6am-2pm shift pattern.
Week 1 the weekly rest ended at 6am on Monday (cell A1) so can count as week 1’s weekly rest.
Week 2 the weekly rest was Sunday/Monday (in reality it spreads from Saturday to Monday)
The other 7 weeks are self explanatory.

An alternative method again using my rota above would be to extend the weekly rest to 69hrs between weeks 1&2 this can then count as two back to back weekly rests.

e.g drivers finishes at 12 midday on sat then starts work at 12 midday on tues

The OPs question was “Would 6 on 2 off forever be legal?”

You answer this with a diagram that covers just 8 weeks which if continued to about 11 weeks would show as not being compliant, I’m obviously missing something here but I don’t understand what is the point you’re trying to make :confused:
