Utilites driver rules

You can be at work as long as you like there is no minimum rest requirements. Being at work and doing work are two different things.
You could do a combination of driving and working which totals 8 hours of duty. You could then sit doing nothing for 6 hours on a break. You could then do a further 3 hours of working / duty. That’s a total of 17 hours at work but perfectly legal as your duty / working time was 11 hours.
Your 24 hour clock is not reset by having a daily rest like it is under EU regs. So if you start work on a Monday at 6 am and you do 10 hours of driving that day you cannot legal drive again until 6 am on Tuesday. I doubt you’ll be doing 10 hour drives on a vac anyway.

so i would just need the 11hrs rest. because i would still be under the driving rules but not the working time. please correct me if i am wrong.thanks in advance.

ITS JUST CLICKED !! DEAR ME I CONFUSE MYSELF .
