Think of it this way. If you start at 6am, you need to be off the road and card pulled before 7pm to get your 11 hours in. Pull your card at 19:01 and then it will count as a 15 hour day because you’ll only be getting 10 hours and 59 minutes rest in.
Another easy way to work it out, if you do a shift of 13:01 or more, then you will be taking a reduced daily rest.
Someone will start trying to complicate things with split rests and abductions by aliens, but it’s a simple answer to someone who hasn’t got a scientific calculator to hand.
Jase that example reads as only 3 reductions to me. Could you explain how your “colleagues” reckon it’s 5■■

i dont get why people put this [zb] up ?!
if people have a question let them ask it and then they will know. i recon you would find out more asking question on trucknet that in that waste of time cpc.
fair play to rog and the like who give there time to answering questions

Conor has shown himself up on numerous threads be it ADR regs to driving in windy conditions.
@Conor im getting bored of you putting members down for asking questions be it tacho regs or what type of stack up shoe to wear on agency.Tacho regs are open to missenterpretation. What can seem obvious to some is not obvious to others. The only constant is that unless your job involves working to the limit of the regs (like trampers) then questions will be raised.
Any newbie viewing this should not be put off by some self appounted king of the limpers who thinks they know it all but in reality on numerous occasions has been proven an idiot.
Apologies to Conor and the admin for the personal attack but im getting sick and tired of decent Tacho reg questions being asked and some muppet (thats you Conor) coming along to have a dig for the sake of virtual point scoring.
Knowing the regs in theory is miles away from knowing them in practice. The only stupid question is the one not asked.
That said if I drive for 10 hours on Tuesday and Thursday in a fixed week can I still get ■■■■■■ on Shaturday.
It seems that serious questions don’t get asked much these days as people know that out of 20 odd answers, 2 or 3 will be serious/helpful and accurate and the rest will just be someone running in and shooting the place up! In my little gimpy night trunk, I don’t even have to worry about the WTD, let along anything else…if things changed in the future, I’d rather PM those that actually know the ■■■■ and explain it in a clear and simple manner, not try and work it out, confusing things even more by reading a multitude of posts that quite often say different things by some that claim to know but after being put right, clearly don’t. And don’t get me going on those that post bollox all the time/slag people off and often post nothing that’s off any help or remotely amusing. Newbies must come here and think WTF…I’ve heard this on my CPC, I’ve read this on here, I’ve been told that on here and now I’ve absolutely no ■■■■■■■ idea who’s right…ill do what the CPC man told me and hope it’s right
I think he’s getting mixed up with post and pre 2005 ergs under the old pre 2005 ergs you had to pay back a 9 hr rest by the end week 3 so if you maxed your hrs then you’d have 18 hrs on top of any weekly reduction to make up under post 2005 ergs you don’t have to do this
I have to agree, if you don’t know, you don’t know, ask the question…every driver at some point needed this explaining.
I’ve been driving 23 years and I don’t know the answer, max hours, minimum breaks don’t effect me.
I work 4 feel hungry and tired, so eat, sleep for an hour then work another 4, get bored then go home.
Although, I am part time agency.

5 because of 3 x15 and 2 9’s but the fact that the 9’s followed the 15’s then it’s only 3. If the 9’s had followed the none 15 then it would be 5.

Some people get confused about this and think about the maximum shift length as being separate from daily rest periods, they fail to realise that the maximum shift length is a direct result of the length of the required daily rest period.

It would only count as a shaturday if your meat vindaloo ejects prior to midnight. Otherwise, with the excess flatulence contained within, and with no time to regenerate your dirty patinated freckle catchers (dpf’s), you’d roll into shunday.
Jase, Tachograph has already said it, but let me make it clear.
You cannot work 15 without your rest automatically being a 9 reducer.

And let me make it a bit clearer.
You cannot work 13:01 without your rest automatically being a reducer.
