YOU HAVE REDUCED WEEKLY RESTS FOR WEEKS 1 + 2 SO ITS ILLEGAL
I’d be inclined to agree and say no. But it has been done on here before and by the grace of god I couldn’t get my head round it .
Over to Rog and Tachograph.

… it has been done on here before …
not possible in this case - previous cases have used a regular weekly rest which was at least 1 minute into the start of week 1
Thank you sir’s much appreciated.
As said it’s illegal because the driver has gone two full consecutive weeks without a regular weekly rest period.
Also, All the reduced weekly rest periods seem to be on the same days as the journey on the ferry, weekly rest periods cannot be interrupted so presumably the 24 hours off is not including the ferry journey ?

I suppose the driver could have all 24 hours on the ferry as a reduced weekly rest?
So for the above to be legal a 45 has to be incorporated in week 2 so the driver should be weekended away from base.
How did the driver get a 24 hour weekly rest and do the ferry at the same time?
Whether or not the driver could have the regular weekly rest period only in week 2 would depend on whether or not he’d had a regular weekly rest period in the same week the journey began on the Sunday.

Crossing to Bilbao is 24 / 32 hrs
Just to throw a spanner in the works the driver has to take his 45 hours break 6 days after his last 24 or can he choose which one to use.

The driver can have the regular weekly rest period at any-time, it doesn’t have to be after the last 24 hour rest.
The only stipulation is that usually he must have a 45 hour regular weekly rest period at-least every second week.
Tachograph this one is for you.
Can a driver take a 24 in week 1 then a 24 in week 2 then in week 3 take 66 hours rest.
I need this confirming most of the people I ask say no but there are a few who say yes.!!!

In the way you put it - no
It is possible to have reduced weekly rests at the end of week 1 and week 2 with a regular at the end of week 3 BUT that would also require a regular at the very start of week 1 which could be used for week 1
So the above shift pattern would legal if I could prove that a 45 was taken prior to starting work on Sunday■■?

With the work pattern you’ve mentioned above where you start work on a Sunday and only have reduced weekly rest periods for the next two whole weeks it cannot be done legally.
Feel free to point anyone who says differently to this thread where they can explain how it can be done, then we will shoot them down with the regulations 
Let me be very clear so there’s no misunderstanding, the work pattern you’ve posted in the first post of this thread cannot be done legally because there is no regular 45 hour weekly rest period that can possibly count for either of two consecutive weeks.

If you mean the first Sunday in the above scenario, no that would still not be legal.
