How does BST affect at 45 hour break?
I finished work at 20:00 on Friday and I am due to start at 17:00 on Sunday. This normally would give me a 45 hour rest but as the clocks are going forward this will only give me 44 hours rest?
My question is - Have I got this right and that I can’t start until 18:00 or can I still start at 17:00
Cheers

Correct, that will be a reduced rest.

If you had a full weekly rest for last week you can still start at 17:00 BST, if you didn’t then you cannot.

what happened when your clocks went back in October? Did you have 46 hours off? 
Think U.T.C time matey! Wait another hour pal! 
Personally, I would say that if you had 45 hours of continuous rest, then this would be a full rest period, regardless of the fact that clocks changed this weekend.
Even if it did only count as a 44 hour rest, you would only have to add one hour to any rest period of nine hours or more and you would have paid it back.
Cheers for the replies lads its a 18:00 start for me then as I had a reduced rest period last week

No it isn’t. Your tachograph runs on UTC. This ignores BST.

Not if its an analogue, but I would bet my bottom dollar that you couldn’t be done for the clocks going back, you would still have had the required hours.

True, in this case I would make a manual entry on the back of the card saying I had taken a 45 hour rest period but that BST came into force on this weekend.
If its an analogue have 44hours off but you’ll have shown 45hours when you wind tghe clock 1 hr forward. Think of that extra 1 hours pay you’ll gain. You’ll be able to retire 1 hour earlier in the future. Well worth it.

True enough I’ve never met a VOSA inspector clever enough to work that out for himself.
No mines a Digi but I have been asking the question based on our time in the UK.
If we were talking UTC then I finished my last shift at 21:00 UTC therefore the 18:00 UTC will now be correct for a 45 hour rest period
I would guess thats why Digi tachos run on UTC, as well as if you change time zones in a shift.

You said you finished at 20:00 Friday, which I assume is GMT and is therefore also 20:00 UTC. Forty-five hours will take you to 17:00 UTC on Sunday, which is 18:00 BST.

The clocks go forward tonight so you would come up an hour short of 45.

Indeed, so the earliest he can start to fit in 45 hours rest is 17:00 UTC Sunday, which will be 18:00 BST.
So what about poor old me working tonight ■■? start at 6pm and probably finish about3 or 4 am…
not worried about weekly rest tho’ cos i had a really long one last week(83hrs)
and will get roughly 38 this weekend

GMT start time on your time sheet + BST finish time on your time sheet = free money.

you just take your normal 45 hrs rest and start at the new gmt time. even if you get stopped the vostapo boys already know the clocks have been changed by an hour
To be honest I don’t see the problem, the actual concept of time isn’t changing! You just need 9/11/24/45 hours of regardless of the time. It’s easy for me, I park up and when tacho shows 9 hours rest I go
