I work as a class c multi drop driver, 40hrs a week, approx 25 - 30 hrs driving time, can I work as a fast food driver in my car 2 nites a week, 4 hrs a nite, approx 3 hrs driving time a nite, from 6 pm to 10 pm
Not 100% on this but the car driving would be under domestic rules. However your working time must still be taken into account to satisfy WTD. If you are only working 40 in your main job then another 8 in a second job will take you to but not over the 48 hour avg weekly working time. Remember this is minus breaks and poa
Car driving work counts as “other work” as far as I know, which could screw up your daily and weekly rests. You CANNOT do any other jobs whilst on your rest period…
Thank you
My rest periods don’t seem to be affected…
Go for it, it’s extra money in your pocket.
To be honest you would have to be very unlucky to get caught as pizza delivery is generally cash in hand with no contracts, no tacho, no paper trail.
Having done it in the past, WTD is the least of your worries!
Remember to be aware of your surroundings and always stand at least 6ft from the door after you knock so you have chance to get out the way if they come out with a knife (it has happened to me a few times).
It’s a dangerous job with ■■■■ pay that’s why I gave it up.
Its Chinese, spend most of the time watching TV, but as I use my car I’m not on tacho !
As said , I’m not infringing on my working time or driving hours, and CPC instructor says as I’m not on tacho and using my car its no ones business,
Just wanted to know your views, thanks

Ah, you should have said that in the first place! We all know how on the ball them guys are.
From what I understand ( I will be corrected if wrong ) that if you use a tacho in any part of the week then al other driving you undertake for hre & reward comes under those rules
You also mush have either 9 or 11 hr off per night
This may help
Cheers, I have at least 10 hrs a night rest, and at look east 45 he’s weekly rest
At least 45 hrs weekly rest…
According to the .gov rules I must take 10 hrs rest between 2 working days, reduced to 8.5 hrs 3 days a week, I can’t work more than 16 hrs a day, and every 2 weeks have 24 hrs uninterrupted rest

Nope you need 11 hr off per night can reduce it to 9 hr 3 times per week work no more than 15 hr per day you can reduce yur weekly rest to 36 hr but must make them up by week 3 drive no more than 90 hr in a fortnight
Yes, read the bit on passenger vehicles,
So I’m still working within EU rules…
If I wanted to be a good boy, I would keep a record of all my driving & hours in the takeaway job on the back of paper tachos to show your employer and present to the VOSA bod if pulled. However, in reality I wouldn’t bother and just crack on. If it’s cash in hand and your driving your own car nobodies likely to know if you keep schtum about it.
The biggest risk would be delivering a pizza to a workmate who then grasses you up, or your gaffer.
