Yes they are all running bent if they’ve not had sufficient daily or weekly rest. IT IS THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE IN THE EU DRIVERS HOURS REGULATIONS.
The only reason you didn’t get caught is because you broke the law by not recording the non-driving jobs on a card as other work and carrying them with you as you are legally required to.
From dft.gov.uk%2Fpgr%2Ffreight%2 … sgoods.pdf
Drivers must record all other work and periods of availability — including work for other employers —
on all driving and non-driving days within a week where they have undertaken driving that comes
within the scope of the EU rules on drivers’ hours since their last weekly rest.
For example, a driver who works in a warehouse on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and wishes
to drive a vehicle within the scope of the EU rules on Thursday of the same week must complete
records for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The record must be either:
written manually on a chart;
written manually on a printout from a digital tachograph;
made by using the manual input facility of a digital tachograph; or
for days where a driver has been subject to the domestic drivers’ hours rules and a record
is legally required (see page 25), recorded in a domestic log book.
For the non-driving days, the record may simply show the driver’s name, the date, and the start
and finish of the shift. These records must be carried on the vehicle by the driver to be produced to
enforcement officers for the relevant period (see individual sections on how to make manual entries).

What is a break?
A break is taken by a driver during his shift for recuperation. It should not be interrupted. However, it may be taken in a moving vehicle provided no other work is undertaken.
What is a rest?
A rest is taken at the end of a shift where the driver may freely dispose of his time. Therefore, if the driver is engaged in other employment or is under some obligation or instruction it cannot be counted as a rest. A rest should be uninterrupted.
CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU? Quite how someone who is so ignorant of the EU drivers hours regs can call themselves a professional driver is beyond me. You’re not a professional driver or even anything approaching it. You’re a cowboy who runs bent, plain and simple. You should change your forum name to John Wayne. And if I ever find out your real name and address, I’ll shop you myself. You’ve got 7 years to worry as that is how long records have to be kept by employers.
And I don’t give a ■■■■ if you end up in clink, your wife leaves you and you lose your home. Clever ■■■■■ like you kill people and mame them for life.
