Utter back and forth balls.The decision to reduce rest in a safety critical industry lies fully with the driver.
Whether that’s written or no… it’s a very simple fact.
I have not found any TM willing to order me to drive once the magic words ‘I’m knackered’ are uttered.

But you’re confusing 2 separate things, sorry boss I’m shattered, I’m gonna have to stop, that applies at any point in the shift.
Then you’ve got what can be planned, and reducing your daily rest is no different to the rest of the regs.
Now if I were a TM and a driver was saying he was too tired to drive several times a week, I’d be questioning if I thought it was a good idea to have in out in a truck at all, wouldn’t you?
I’d suggest a driver pulling over regularly at 9 hours after 14 hours rest is a different kettle of fish to a driver refusing to take reduced rest after a 14 hour shift

A driver always takes a reduced rest after a 14 hour shift
