it's 56 hours maximum in a fixed week, but if your working week crosses two fixed weeks then the maximum is 58 hours.
wrong...u cannot exceed 56 hours in 1 week and then 34 the next,
56 hours is a fixed week maximum. 58 hours is for a working week.

56 hours is a fixed week maximum. 58 hours is for a working week.
58 hours is impossible according to the wtd so if u wanna do 58 hours crack on but u will get an infringement, work the numbers out....56 hours is based on using ur 2 10 hour drive time plus the 9s in a working week, 58 is impossible without breading the law

The question was regarding driving hours in a working week, not a reduced weekly rest.

Believe it or not people actually learn from my posts (if they are happy to accept the facts), so they are actually quite educational, which is the whole purpose of my posts.
Perhaps subconsciously YOU have learned something from them as well……

Love it.
The ones laughing at 58hrs are the same d**kwads who've been driving a couple of years.
The same ones telling "a mate said/ told me/ another drivers war stories " sitting in a rdc.
The same who if you ask them a question you'll get" never come upon that. Have no idea about flats, tilts, coilers (and so on) as only driven with rag siders"
Word of advice off an oldie.
If you're unsure, don't comment or add laughing emojis.
You make yourself sound as stupid as you look.

Who wants to work so many hrs? I do avg 40 and few hrs in reference period and that’s more than enough for me. Moment you hit 40% tax bracket, half of your hard enough money goes away.
