Daily rest longer than weekly rest?

foresttrucker:
Is this the correct way to look at this? I cannot work more than 6 days in a row therefore, sometimes my daily rests in this fortnight will be longer than my weekly rest.

Off 42 hours, reduced weekly, owe 3
Work week 1
Tue
Wed
Thur
Fri
Sat (Daily rest 29 hours, so the 3 hours are paid back)
This is not a daily rest period it’s a reduced weekly rest period + 3 hours compensation for the previous reduced weekly rest period of 42 hours.
Sun

Off 24 hours, reduced weekly, owe 21
Work week 2
Mon
Tue
Wed
Thur
(Off 34 hours Thur > Sat, so the 21 hours are paid back, 21+9 = 30)
Sat

Must take regular 45 hour weekly rest here, as in any two week period one weekly rest must be 45 hours.

Edit: for some reason I posted this in the newbie forum despite driving for 7+ years

For this to be legal you would have to have had a regular 45 hour weekly rest period that can be counted for the week prior to the 42 hour reduced weekly rest period.

Assuming that’s the case, although it’s sort of irrelevant in this case but no compensation needs to be paid back for any of the reduced weekly rest periods except the 42 hour one, so in effect you’re over complicating it all.
