Forget about the rules about taking a 45 hour in the cab. DVSA will be able to fine £300 for every infringement over the previous 28 days.Anybody who drove in Germany years ago will remember how keen the authorities were on checking all your previous records…
It’s not £300 for every infringement. It is UP TO £300 which is the current level of fine anyway.
So, 4h 56m driving without a valid break = £100. 11h 30m driving today = £300
At the moment there is also a cap of maximum of three penalties in a day. I suspect that cap will remain
I wonder if that has something to do with (Average driver’s endorsements=3 points) 3 further MAX number of penalties should still leave enough points to get home. 
(Assuming they are all 2’s and 3’s penalties themselves of course!)
You’ll be cap (and P45) in hand - if it doesn’t!
