Tacho advice - new driver

is it? i thought it was a 30 minute break after 6 hours working time :confused:

CPC for you!

indeed, still got 3 parts to do :slight_smile:
mind you at 30 minutes, at least i’m safe your honour :grimacing:

Deffo 15 mins mate for 6 hours work under the RTD rules

No driver shall work/drive for more than 6 hours without taking at least a 15 min break - that is for any 6 hours during the shift
Breaks must be at least 15 mins in length

Now choose one of these but not both …
Where the total of the work/drive in a shift is between 6 and 9 hours then a total of breaks adding up to 30 mins must be taken
OR
Where the total of the work/drive in a shift is more than 9 hours then a total of breaks adding up to 45 mins must be taken

Not exactly the way it is written in the regs but I hope the way I wrote it helps
