Not in the scenario you outline. You have driven 10 hours in the above, which is the maximum allowed between rest periods so no possibility to do more driving.
If you mean in general what happens to the ‘unused’ hours from the first 4.5 hour driving period when you take a break before reaching 4.5 hours then the answer is they are still available for you to use during your shift provided the daily driving limits and break requirements are adhered to.
cheers,just needed to know that any unused hours from 1st and 2nd drive periods can be tagged on to last period.

Was it the wording of period of driving why you gave that answer ?
Perhaps it’s the way I read things but I read that as being 3 periods of driving during one shift …

It is the only way you will ever do 10 hours driving in one shift, even if you only drive 9h 10, you have used one of your 10’s and had 3 driving periods that day

No, it was the number of driving hours done. Ten hours done so that’s it for the shift. I knew what he was really asking and answered in the bit you haven’t quoted.
It seems like you think there is something wrong with my answer? What are you getting at?

Which is a problem how? That’s the way I read it as well.

Bit confused - if you read it that way then why the first paragraph in your answer ?

Why not? I fail to see what your problem is with my answer, you’ll have to explain.
It was this bit -
Not in the scenario you outline
That had me confused

His scenario had him driving 10 hours in the shift and he asked if he could add the 1.5 hours from his first driving stint to the last driving period but as he has done the maximum 10 hours driving allowed in the shift he obviously can’t. What is confusing about that.
If he had asked was it okay for the last stint to be 2.5 hours instead of just an hour then the answer would have been yes. He didn’t so the answer to the question as asked is no. I did clarify it in my second paragraph, as it was obvious what he was getting at, but as you didn’t quote that in your post you maybe didn’t read it.
In the first three posts this thread was done and dusted, then you showed up with nonsense about the term period of driving and… 
That’s what I said about reading it differently -
He said what he HAD done - which was to add the 1.5 to the last bit
And then asked if that was ok
That was the way I read it
Whereas you read it as adding the 1.5 onto the last 2.5

No, I read it both ways which is why I gave a two paragraph answer and I answered the question as it was asked rather than what he meant. As I said in my last post, as asked the answer is no, what he meant the answer is yes.
Either way I knew I could get you to bite.
