Don't know why people have to confuse it. I get deducted a 45 so I take a 45 minute break after 6 hours and that resets everything

exactly, we have deducted 1hr, so depends on time on shift (could be 15hrs), 2x30 or 15, 30, 15

You can't work more than 6 hours without a break of at least 15 minutes.

your not reading what I’ve put !! You cannot have more than one 15 mins break period. If only doing 9 hrs total it must be either 15 mins before 6 hrs or 30 mins before 6 hrs

you won’t get infringements for taking to much break. You do appear to be confusing wtd with driving breaks I suspect

Cannot work for more than 6 hours without a break. A break should last a minimum of 15 minutes
30 minute break if working between 6 and 9 hours in total.
After working for 6 hours a mobile worker must take a break of 15 minutes. However, if working between 6 and up to 9 hours in a shift a mobile worker must take a break totalling a minimum of 30 minutes, this can be made up of two breaks of 15 minutes.
45 minute break if working more than 9 hours in total. If a shift contains more than 9 hours of working time a break period totalling 45 minutes is required.

So you've answered your own question... Cannot work more than 6 hours without a break. What's hard to understand? Should have taken a break in the afternoon as you worked over 6 hours 🤣😂

Cheers for reply’s. Sadly I’m no further forward. If you take 45 min break in a day that should cover you for the full day. 45 minutes for over 9 hours. I no it’s only 15 minute however I’m getting there infringements in yard fuelling and de kitting again out of scope but still other work and I always do manual enter till time I walk out gate.

there is no rule I can find for second 6 hour break. It’s like everything’s Tacho related 24 hour day. I’m not causing a argument I’ve been using Tacho for over 20 years and I’m fairly up on rules but this 1 got me big time. I honestly don’t think it resets after 9 hours over break in 24 hour period. It’s 45 min break for full 24 hour period. It can’t work other wise. 15 hour days would be spent mostly on break ha ha.

45 minute break if working more than 9 hours in total. If a shift contains more than 9 hours of working time a break period totalling 45 minutes is required.

the 6 hour rule is for the first 6 hour in a 24 hour day. After that it moves 30 min up to 9 hours and 45 for over 9. It’s 1 set of wtd rules for a day. So the first 6 hours then up to 9 then over 9. 3 rules 3 different times reaching a maximum of 45. You can work 8 or 9 hours after 45 min and no infringement stupid but true. Why have a rule saying 45 min for over 9.

I understand it’s Friday but I might suggest that step back from the keyboard.
Let’s use an official source shall we. Let’s go with DVSAs own publication, referred to as GV262.
It can be found here…
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/drivers-hou ... time-rules
I have also attached a screenshot of the relevant section that you to have got confused over.
breaks:
-mobile workers must not work more than 6 consecutive hours without taking a break
-if working hours total between 6 and 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 30 minutes
-if working hours total more than 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 45 minutes
- breaks should be of at least 15 minutes’ duration
At no point does the governing body reference “first six hours.” At no point is there a mention of “shift time” as this refers explicitly to working time.
So let’s go through this.
Bullet point one
“breaks:
mobile workers must not work more than 6 consecutive hours without taking a break”
This is an instruction. It tell you what you must not do. This therefore is the golden rule when it comes to WTD.
Bullet point four
“breaks should be of at least 15 minutes’ duration”
This settles the stupid old age debate of 15/30mins requirement. As it expressly states a break is of minimum 15 minute duration. Once this break is completed then it would result in a reset of rule one (if required).
Bullets points two and three…
“if working hours total between 6 and 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 30 minutes
if working hours total more than 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 45 minutes”
Please note the use of the word “total” here. It does not reference accumulate, it states TOTAL.
Therefore your working time TOTAL for the duty period in question can not be under six hours/between six and nine/ and over nine hours, again, in TOTAL within the same duty period.
Therefore if you are exceeding six hours of total working time then only one of this two points with come into play. The other will simply not apply.

After working for 6 hours a mobile worker must take a break of 15 minutes. However, if working between 6 and up to 9 hours in a shift a mobile worker must take a break totalling a minimum of 30 minutes, this can be made up of two breaks of 15 minutes.
45 minute break if working more than 9 hours in total. If a shift contains more than 9 hours of working time a break period totalling 45 minutes is required.
if you can't work out your hours do you think you're in the right job

you can't work over 6 hrs without a break.
Even if that's 6 hours and 1 second.
So you need to start your break BEFORE you get to 6.00 so in reality it's 5hrs, 59 mins and 59 seconds.

You can start a break on 6 hours..that's why the RT(WT)R says can't work more than 6 hours without a break. And tachographs go to the nearest whole minute so could go 6 hours and 29 seconds before putting on break.

There's 2 parts to the wtd breaks.
1. The 6 hour rule
you can't work more than 6 hours at any point without a 15 min break, a break of 15 or more allows you to work upto another 6 hours before needing another 15 min break. This works the same as driving 4.5 hours and a 45. (Only driving and other work count as working time)
2. The total break
This is dependent on the total amount of working time in the shift, only driving and other work count as working time for the wtd.
0-6 hours of working time = 0 break required
Over 6 but not over 9 = 30 mins of break/s
Over 9 = 45 mins of break/s required.
A shift can only be have 1 of the 3 apply, so ignore the other 2
Breaks can be taken anywhere in the shift to count towards the total required, except the very beginning or end of the shift, so each break must have at least 1 min of work either side of it and they must be at least 15 mins long to count.
The 6 - 9 and 9+ are purely used to determine how much break is required in total and are nothing to do with when any breaks are required.
So anyone who drives over 4.5 hours in a shift will have a 45 for that and tick the total break box for any shift, so all they'll need to worry about is the 6 hour rule.

Farrepo, after 6 hrs work he had a 45 min break. That resets his driving & working time so he can now work for another 6 hrs then would need to take another
Break totaling 30 mins or or 2 x 15s providing he doesn't go over his 4.5 hrs driving time. So ging by what was said he would there for get himself an infringement as hes worked for another 6.5 hrs without a break. Example:Breaks
Mobile workers must not work more than 6 consecutive hours without taking a break.
If your working hours total between 6 and 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 30 minutes.
If your working hours total more than 9 hours, working time should be interrupted by a break or breaks totalling at least 45 minutes.
Breaks should be of at least 15 minutes duration.

he wouldn't need another 30min after working another 6 hours.

you can have 2 x 15 min breaks if it's for wtd. If it's for driving time it would be 1 x 15 & 1 x 30 or a 45 break.

I’ve had a license more than 20 years and I’m telling you your wrong. Again I’ve come from before digi and before wtd. I’m sure the soft ware folk are using is resetting it causing said infringements but it’s wrong. There is only 1 24 hour day and nothing resets till after daily rest period has been taken. there is no reset button on 24 hour day. I’m getting infringements walking through yard to my car as I don’t technically finish until I walk through gate.

15 minutes is a wtd break. Never work more than 6 hrs without a break. If you work between 6-9 hrs you must take a break / breaks totalling 30 minutes. If you work over 9 hrs you must take a break / breaks totalling 45 minutes. But remember NEVER work more than 6 hrs without taking a break
