split break question

Apologize in advance, my driver hrs Cpc is booked for next month.
As the tacho resets after any combination of 45 mins break.
I’m aware of the minimum of 15mins and a further break of 30 mins. Am I correct in thinking that, for instance if I record a break of 20 mins, do I still have to take a 30 min break later?

YES - the first break is a minimum of 15 mins and the second a minimum of 30 mins

the maximum for a first break is 44 mins because if it gets to 45 mins the tacho will reset as you correctly pointed out

Your 1st break can be as long as you wish but if less then 45 min you then must have at least 30 min break
