Newbie question, have class c and want to know when I can start driving ? I work a 4.5 hr shift (non driving work) starting at 4am mon-fri, so when can i legally drive for an agency?
Pretty much as soon as you finish your shift. In order to comply with Working Time Directive, you’d need to take a 15 minute break (which could almost certainly be fitted in between finishing your “day job” at 0830 and starting the agency driving job) before reaching 6 hours working time. You’d need to keep an eye on daily rest, so you’d need to finish any driving job by 7pm (or as late as 9pm three times a week). You’d also need to keep an eye on total working time - no more than 60 hours in any week.
thanks , all should be ok then!1

Starting at 4am means finishing at 5pm to get in a regular daily rest but can finish at 7pm a max of three times between weekly rests
I think you got 7pm and 1700 mixed up as well as 9pm and 1900
I think I’d just had a couple of glasses of red.
