I must get a law book to read…but in the mean time i shall ask on here…
yesterday afternoon i was running back to the yard and would not have made it in my driving time but sill had a 15 h speedover left so on 8h 15 m drive pulled into services a company car left our yard and meet me there i only was waiting 10 mins, i then drove the car back to the yard which only took 40 mins (its just over an hour by truck,)
Q1 does that 40 min driving time count towards my 90 fortnight?
Q2 as paper card was taken out and booked off in services do i record it in ink on the back of chart? if so as driving or other work?
and Q3 my weekend rest does not beguin till i get back to the yard and jump in my own car?
regards Malc

Yes, as ROG said the car driving counts as other work and it would only be an issue if you had no ‘spreadover’ left.
