Compensatory Weekly Rest

Great stuff as usual. This offence is almost like Time Travel!!

Just another thought. If a driver basically takes 23 hours Weekly Rest, that’s a straight offence. From what I have seen, there would not be then a compensation requirement of 22 hours generated. It would just be a straight “no Weekly Rest”. Would this then be a base to argue that the compensation offence does stop at midnight at the end of the 3rd week?

Tachograph- your comments re Historics are really interesting. If the compensation doesn’t end at the end of the 3rd week and just continues to accumulate, in effect it’s a permanently “ongoing offence” in effect until repaid. This could potentially attract a prohibition several weeks after the relevant “third week” had finished and the driver could have had several periods of WR well above 45 hours! Now that would be 2 bites of the cherry!!
