Tacho question

Cheers for the replies gents.

I’m still a bit unclear though as seem to be several contradicting views.

Let’s say I start at 6am and have my break at 12:15pm. During this time I’ve turned off the engine three times for ten minutes each time, which have defaulted to break. Is this an infringement? I haven’t officially had a 15 min break to reset the six hours, but I’ve also not accrued six hours of other work as the tacho has been on break for 30 mins in total.

Yes you will get an infringement for working over 6 hours .
You have to take a full 15 Mon breakin one hit not split over shorter ones. before 6 hours of work. Taking shorter breaks.doesnt count or do anything .
It’s 6 hours working then a 15 Min break.
If your that way inclined and you stop at a drop off and if takes 10 mins you could just wait untill it ticks over to 15.
Then when you set off same rules above apply 6 hours from when start unless you complete 4 half hours driving 1st

No he won’t get a WTD infringement. While he has been “at work” for 6h15m he has not been working for the whole of that time. Those short (less than 15 minutes) “breaks” don’t count as Breaks for WTD purposes, but neither do they count as Work time.
