DDifficulty 3/5

A bus driver subject to the general rule of Regulation (EC) 561/2006 reduces a normal 11-hour daily rest to a reduced daily rest of at least 9 but less than 11 hours. What is the maximum number of reduced daily rests between two weekly rest periods?

Correct answer

Three between two weekly rest periods.

Three. Article 8(4) sets the maximum between two weekly rest periods, rather than per calendar week. Reduced daily rest lasts at least 9 but less than 11 hours. A normal daily rest split into at least 3 hours followed by at least 9 is different and does not become reduced merely because its second part is 9 hours. The service’s other applicable rules must also be met.
