I’m currently doing a PhD in electrical engineering. It’s okay but the money is very awful and I get bored at weekends.

If you are getting paid for doing this from mon to fri then you can only drive for one day every other weekend due to EU weekly rest laws

I don’t have office hours so to speak. I can work when I went. So I’m not sure it would apply to me. There is not turn up at 9 and leave at 5. I just go in whenever I want. So I think I’d be okay. If I can get my work done and work 2 days a week that is fine. Similarly some people work 7 days a week and sleep at work. So I’m not sure how they would/could enforce this.

What you put in a diary as to what you do mon to fri is up to you

I wasn’t trying to insinuate I’d break any rules. Some weeks I can fly to a conference and be working 18 hours a day for 7 days straight. Other weeks I can be waiting for equipment and can be twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do in the lab. I just end up reading novels until equipment turns up.

Do you have to fill out a diary of what you have done none driving throughout the week? I only ask as I have zero idea. But I’ve just booked my theory tests. Have to wait until the start of November for the theory and cpc part. But I am doing the hazard perception on thursday. The hazard perception is the only I’m most likely to fail (and the cheapest fortunately) so I don’t mind giving myself the possibility of a retest if needed.
