The old reduced hours regulations,allowed for a reduction in the 45 hr weekly break,to 24hrs,so long as the vehicle was away from base(ie for example on a trip that ran to 6 days or more).Can I take a reduced 24 hr break,if the truck IS back at base?(And presuming the 21 hrs shortage will be compensated for by the end of the third week)

Yes you can mate. The minimum break used to be 36 hours at base i think, but it is just 24 hours now, at base or away from it.

End of the 4th week, it’s the end of the 3rd week following the reduction. Must be compensated for in one bloc and added to another rest period of at least 9 hours.
