Hi fellow drivers.
Normally fine using the ferry mode for Irish trips but today has been different and I cant seem to find the answer.
I understand that I have to have a regular daily rest to allow interruptions but what happens if I was to go over 13hr in a shift but manage to have split daily rest (3hr on break) in the day. Do I still need to take my 11hr plus upto 1 hour daily rest?
Cheers in advance.

If you take a 3 plus 9, that does count as a full daily rest. So, yes you can interrupt the 9 for ferry moves.
.
Not sure what you mean by 11 plus 1?

(Remember: you can’t do a full 13 shift then make ferry move, nor a full 15 though. The daily rest, even if interrupted, must all be within 24hrs from start of daily shift.)
Well started at 0630 and finished at 2015 with a 3hr break in the day. Called into the ferry at 2200. Ferry mode used for approximately 15min.
So on that a ferry crossing isn’t possible ? Or could I start again at 0815 (to allow the full 1hr ferry movement). First time I got pushed over 13hr before a ferry crossing that’s all.

3 hr solid block off during day.
Start 2nd part of rest period at 20hr15.
9 hrs from 20-15 is 05hr15, now add on the 15min to board, so you’re good to go at 05hr30. (05hr30 is within 24hrsof your shift start)
I see no problem in that.

Edit
You be not said what time you debarqued?
I’m assuming after 05hr30.

Yeah I disembarked at 0630 ish. When I got back in my unit. The stone ridge tacho even said that I’ve had enough daily rest and could start a new shift. Very confusing.
