The 10 hours driving in a 24 hour period was removed from the EU regulations around 2016.

Basically when your daily rest is over - be it 11/10/9 hours, a new 24 hour clock starts your day for both working & driving time.

Use your fingers and a thumb and count them forward 1 finger per hour when you have used up all 8 fingers and a thumb counting it’s time to start work again

Obviously if you go over 13 hours by even a minute it counts as a 15 hour shift so will mean you need to watch the hours for the rest of the week

apologies yeah that’s what I meant just badly worded. However if you work 13hr 1 min it will count as reduced so only leaves 2 more 15 hrs for the week is what I meant

why? Clearly this post alone proves it's required. One question and 20 different responses. Some right, some wrong and some irrelevant. I think DCPC should be reformed, but we definitely need it.
