So if UTC doesnt go backwards or forwards, that means that when he sets the tacho to rest at 2200…when he returns to work at 0700 it would have recorded 9 hours, the only problem is when you put the clock forward.

If he books off at 22:00 local time and books back on at 07:00 local time he will have had only 8 hours rest, the clocks go forward on March 30th :wink:

i am having a similiar issue. i only have 9 hours off but it would have been 10 if this stupid time changing thing hadnt happened. it is eating an hour from my rest period whihc put me under a very tight time limit to get finished so i can start a double shift tomorrow which will be very tight from start to finish. then a night out which i cant reduce and then another very tight day
the things i do to get people out of a driver shortage situation :confused:

UTC doesn’t go back or forwards with British Summer Time, so on the tacho you’d only have had 8hrs off.

The fact you’re asking this question scares the hell out of me, have you sat your dCPC? If yes, it shows that it doesn’t work, if no then YOU are the reason it exists. :imp:

come on
ive done my dcpc ,but its in one ear and out the other
is anyone really that interested

NO ! … You must ad an extra hour because you will not have completed 11 hours off.
