Quick Hours question.....

Having a bit of blonde moment…which is quite remarkable as i have very little hair left, blonde or otherwise!

But…am i correct in thinking that you can drive for the max 10 hrs as long as you have the correct rest for every 4.5 hr stint? For example if i have had my 45 for the first 4.5 hrs, then drove for 2 hrs, had an 30 min rest, drive for another 2 hrs, have another 30 mins rest, i can then complete the final 1.5 hrs without needing further rest?

The example in your post is fine, as long as you don’t drive for more than 4.5 hours before having a break/breaks totalling at least 45 minutes it doesn’t matter how the ten hours driving is accumulated, so you don’t necessarily need to have a break before the final hours driving if that’s what you mean.

You can do the 10 hours driving between two daily rest periods twice in the week … you already know that but I thought I’d mention it because your post could be misleading to anyone seeing it who isn’t familiar with the rules :wink:
