I thought you had a copy of the regulations and the VOSA guide?
I do !! VOSA GUIDE
I could not see where it stated what you said so I was not sure if it was possible to do 4 hours for example under EU regs and then say, 6 hours under domestic in the same shift
I know it can be a bit weird when both domestic and EU regs are mixed as doing one day on EU then the next on Domestic requires EU daily & weekly rests to be taken but the domestic work only counts as ‘other work’ for the EU regs - think I got that right ■■?
Did not know how this stood if LGV EU driving done for half a shift and then domestic LGV driving done for the rest of the shift or for another company on the same day

The clue is the fact domestic counts as other work for EU.
If you spend the first 8 hours of the shift driving an artic and doing some other work, along with a 45 minute break, and then spend 4 hours doing some van driving how many hours would you have to record on the tacho for that shift?

Got your point - instead of van driving for the 4 hours it was LGV driving under domestic hours so would that be the same?

You are not reading the replies are you?

That’s all work under Domestic Rules, not just van driving.
Maybe you need to spend some more time reading your guide to the various regulations, where it says.
Driving and other duty under GB domestic rules (including non-driving work in another employment) count as attendance at work but not as a break or rest period under the EU rules.
A driver shall record as other work any time spent as
described in Article 4(e) as well as any time spent driving a
vehicle used for commercial operations not falling within the
scope of this Regulation, and shall record any periods of
availability, as defined in Article 15(3)(c) of Regulation (EEC)
No 3821/85, since his last daily or weekly rest period. This
record shall be entered either manually on a record sheet, a
printout or by use of manual input facilities on recording
equipment.
and as domestic Regs are not these regs the bit in red applies
