45 hr weekend rests

This particular variation on the weekly rest regulation was pushed through - 8 think - by a Bulgarian legal adviser with the EC. it is a bizarre offence as a driver will actually be prosecuted for potentially having too much rest!!
I am sure the reference is Regular Weekly Rest away from base cannot be taken in the vehicle/ cab. In many instances, until the introduction of gps tags on the Tachograph, this offence will be detected “found committing” rather than retrospectively. The possibilities for evading it seem endless.
But ironically, will the DVSA impart a prohibition if they find an offence - you can just imagine them trying to apply that one!
