Split shift tag team anyone 
I fell for exactly thus scenario in a busy week in Dec. I have never had a job where this rule was applicable before. I didn’t know the 11 had to be in actual 24 period from start time. Gaffer explained to me quite well and fortunately wasn’t wasn’t tugged by vosa in the 28 days 
A colleague of mine was tugged today by a copper, and pulled up for incorrect daily rests. His crime? On several occasions he had done shifts of less than 13 hours, and then had reduced rests - according to the copper if you do less than 13 hours, you must take 11 hours rest! Can only do reducers when you’ve worked over 13. He’s going to pass it on to his traffic division to make the decision re prosecution.

That will be dropped like a hot brick, probably with some bull[zb] excuse 
I know, but wouldn’t you love to get a summons to court on that basis, just to watch the copper get ripped apart? Worrying though, that he has the power without the knowledge.
Instead of admitting the plod had ■■■■■■ up, they will probably write to him saying
they have decided to not take any further action on this occasion

In the days before digital tachos, I had a police man (traffic no less) argue with a wheel nut tapper, wether or not it was legal to mark start and finish times on the front of a tachograph chart. Seeing a traffic rat being told that he is wrong, is very satisfying. .
Back in the late 70s, I was with my dad, delivering to a company called J Pick in Leicester (if anybody knows / knew it). Whilst looking for it, he parked, got out of the cab to ask somebody, but left the engine running with me in it (probably was about 10 at the time).
A wpc came along, saw this, and started making notes. Dad saw this, and came back over, at which point she started having a go about leaving a minor with engine running etc. They had a barney, she stomped off, and that seemed to be the last of it. Until a couple of weeks later when he had a letter from leics police, stating that he had left a HGV parked on a hill, with the engine running, in gear, with the brake off, and a child in danger. They stated that in this case they would take no further action, but if he was reported again in the future, thus would be brought up.
Never one to miss a good argument, he wrote back, pointing out the errors in their version of accounts, and asking why they employed such stupid officers. The correspondence went back and forth a few times, as he desperately wanted them to take him to court on the basis of what they had stated in the initial letter, but they never obliged…

Ooohh errrrrr 
Audsley161:
so if i work a 15 hour day today i must have an 11 hour rest and make sure tomorrow is a 13 max?
You’re looking at this from the wrong angle mate. Think of a day as a block of 24 hours that starts when you start work.
Subtract however many hours you work from 24 and that will be how much rest you have that day. A 15 hour shift followed by taking a year off would still only count as a 9 hour rest.
