  1. Under EU rules what’s the maximum number of days you can drive in a week?

Four
Five
Six
Seven

I actually dont have a confirmed answer to this although I know the actual answer. I am curious as to what you guys think the answer is though.

You’d be surprised how many get it wrong.

100%…bad question

Theoretically you can drive on seven days…

True.

For example if you take a reduced weekly rest starting at say Sunday 1pm to Monday like 4pm. You are working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

That’s your theory on a reduced rest is it ?

I agree.
So often this is the case in multiple choice questions.
You know the answer they are after, but it is difficult to tick that one when you know the question is flawed.
It makes you wonder if the person creating the questions actually knows the subject comprehensively or has just created the questions from what they believe to be answers (as in most cases).
In this case the use of “week” makes it clear it is the latter.

best way to deal with multi choice questions is to cover the the choices ,read the question “think” then uncover the choices if you know your stuff then the answer will match up.that is what I did when sitting operator CPC.

If you want a life just do six normal persons days…One oclock start sunday :laughing:

Start 23.00 Sunday. work Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and run in to finish 01.00 Sat. 7 days. Off 01.00 Sat till 23.00 Sunday, 46 hrs weekly rest,BUT Who would want to? :open_mouth:

14

Simpler version: work Monday to Friday as normal, Saturday OT until, for example, 12 noon, reduced weekly rest no less than 24h and start again Sunday anytime after 12 noon.
So the true answer is seven but we can guess they are expecting you to say six.

I took the dhl / curry’s / know it all test & passed , only thing I struggled on was reading number plate , said sun was in my eyes , so we moved to a place the sun wasn’t in my eyes , and I memorised the number plate as we passed lorry
Test etc was ok but seemed a awful lot of paper work to do job , considered going back but wages look a bit poor at moment + heavy job unless you do nights , prefer days
