So does 3hrs POA mean you can extend your duty time to 18hrs then? 🤷🏼 no 3 hrs poa or rest consistent throughout your days work gives you a 15 hour card spread , with a 9 hour overnight required Do you know what POA is, and how it works? poa has to be arranged and disclosed the duration in advance ...

that would be a period of break, not POA. Or for 3hrs 20mins you could use that time as part of a split daily rest.

no it doesn't, it MUST be a rest period, a period of time where you are able to dispose of your time freely. Amy periods of break or POA will not count towards a split daily rest. Also a split daily rest is not a reduced, all you're doing is splitting a regular daily rest period over two periods. I...

It’s called a ‘split rest’, NOT ‘split period of availability’ 🙄
period of availability does that count as driving or other work?

a split only gives a maximum 12 hour duty time and a maximum 11h 15min working time. no it doesn't , you should contact vosa as they are loosing out on loads of fines they must not know about 24hr period minus 12hrs rest equals 12hrs duty time.

Can only do 14 hours duty 5× in a fixed week if taking a weekly rest mid week. 15 hour, 9 hour over night after your three during the day will give you 24 hr, If you do a 14 hour spread and a 9 hour over night that would be 23 hours,, loosing a hour a day , possible 90kilometer a day , add that to ...

If you can't move right, slow down. The slip road is for getting up to cruising speed, it's easier for you and those behind you to slow down momentarily than for the vehicle entering to slow down and then accelerate again to join behind you, or risk running out of slip road. if you're taking about ...

Have you looked at the water trap on the fuel filter? I had a similar experience trying to get over the hills on the M56, crawling at 20mph with everything passing me, turned out the bowl was mostly filled with water from some bad fuel.
