Between 12:33 and 17:11 you did 4 hours 30 minutes driving then did 1 minute other work before having a break, there’s your infringement.
The regulations require you to have a 45 minute break immediately after 4 hours 30 minutes driving.
Another job it is not driving time.drivers can drive 4h 29 min and taked after 5 minute and will ok.
Yes you can do 4 hours 29 minutes driving then do some other work, but once you’ve done 4 hours 30 minutes driving you need to immediately take a break.
Strange how one minute can change everything do isn’t it

Mystery Action:
After a driving period of no more than 4.5 hours, a driver must immediately take a break of at least 45 minutes unless they take a rest period. A break taken in this way must not be interrupted. For example:
I’d was not aware that the word immediately was included so I looked it up on the .gov web site. The quote above suggests that if you take your break after, for example, 4 hours driving you must also take the break immediately since 4 hours is no more than 4.5 hours.
The word immediately is not in the regulations it is however in the DVSA guide which is what you’ve read, you can do less than 4.5 hours driving and not immediately take a break.
The exact wording of the regulations is as follows:
After a driving period of four and a half hours a driver shall
take an uninterrupted break of not less than 45 minutes,
unless he takes a rest period
So unless you have not included the whole quote the regulations don’t actually say immediately.

No but it’s the same thing and the DVSA have also interpreted it as the break needing to be taken immediately after 4.5 hours driving.
I have included the whole quote, read it for yourself in Article 7 - (EC) 561/2006

Nine hours drive is…
A nine.
Nine hours and one minute is a ten.
yeah… exactly same like the reduced rest really, 11 hours minimum. can reduce to 9hours // 3 times a week.
if you do a shift of 13hour and 1 min. it instantly goes to a min of 9hours rest and not 10:59 rest. (irrc)
