Would the following be legal, another driver thinks it would be.
drive 1h-break 1h - drive 3 1/2 hours- break 30mins - drive 4 1/2 - daily rest
No.

Assuming that the breaks were actually booked as breaks that would not be legal.
The 1 hour break after the first 1 hour of driving would reset the driving time, after that there’s a drive of 8 hours with only a 30 minute break.

Any break over 44 mins resets the 4.5 hour driving time clock
The other driver probably thinks that they can use the 1 hour break as the 15 min part of the 15 + 30 split driving time break
It is daft that taking more then 44 mins cannot be used as a 15 but they are the rules we have to go by

let him think what he thinks but before you were told no what did you think and why
I knew it was wrong, but his argument was he could use 15 mins from the first break toward his second break. I knew the clock “reset” and so the next block of driving counted as fresh
It would be legal if your useing a analogue, the clock does’nt reset on a analogue

No it wouldn’t . You’d still be driving for 8 hours with only a 30 minute break shown.
As regards the op, if he’d have had 44 mins break after that first hour then he would be legal.
You are of coarse right 
,It’ll teach me to read the post correctly
Lol. Don’t worry mate, sometimes I go off too early too.
First off I thought “Thats something that I do” then I actually reread it a few times before I noticed where he was going wrong.
