That’s what I have been telling him 
would it be ok with a 11 hours rest after the second 15 hour shift that’s why I now do 12 work 12 rest makes it easy

Not quite. You can have as long a rest as you like, once you go over 13 hours you are on a reduced rest. The 11 hours has to be in the 24 hours from your shift start, not after you shift finish. But you knew that…

an 11 hour rest after Tuesday’s 13 hours would keep you, sorry, him, legal on those hours.

'kin ell and people like him say they don’t need the DCPC…
Monday is a reduced daily rest, ■■■■■.
Maybe he’s managed a minimum 3 hour rest during each shift in which case where’s the problem?
But more than likely this is one of those simple cases of neither the driver nor the ‘boss’ has got a clue what they are doing.

Depends if he’s had 3 hours off during the day Monday
if hes looking to change jobs,get him over here and he could get a start as a shunter if hes prepared to put in a few more hours…
68 hours straight off, and then the possibility of a “day six” as well. FFS
