Ok so here goes.I drive for 2 hours after leaving my yard.
I pick up another driver who then drives 2 and a half hours however we are held up in traffic twice.
My card is in slot 2 of the tacho and when we stop to change it shows 3 hours of POA.
I then do this Monday to Friday
My shift time each day is 14 hours
Do I get an infringement because I don’t get 11 hours off or does my 3 hours POA count towards having a split rest as in 3 hours and 9 hours.
FYI…I’m now down to 9 shunts [emoji1787]
You’re single manned for the first 2 hours so you cannot take advantage of the daily rest requirements for a multi-manned journey.
You cannot legally do 14 hour shifts 5 times between weekly rest periods, POA cannot be counted as rest.
If you get pulled into a roadside check on Friday there’s a chance you will get parked up for 11 hours and fined, if you get pulled in the next 28 days you’re likely to get fined, your employer is also likely to feel the wroth of the DVSA.
