another tacho question

I was put on a tacho course by my employer but still have a few unanswered questions

Is it true that a driver cannot have two consecutive reduced weekly rests?
and if you start the day on tacho no matter what you drive tacho rules still apply?
Im sure i was told anything under 3.5 tonne then it is just recorded as other work?

Many thanks

If you are on tacho at any time in the week you come under tacho rules

Im sure i was told anything under 3.5 tonne then it is just recorded as other work?

You can have two reduced weekly rest periods in a row as long as they are not the only weekly rest periods in the 2 weeks.

Driving a non tacho vehicle on the same day as you work under tacho regs is recorded as other work, not driving.

Thank you coffeeholicbut with reference to my first point if i work mon to sat driving week one work mon to friday within my 90 hours tge following week but on the sat do a course does this make sense isthis legal can i do this or is it an infringment

Many thanks
