DDifficulty 3/5

A bus driver subject to the ordinary limits of Regulation (EC) 561/2006 has driven for 56 hours in one week. Under the two-consecutive-week limit, what is the maximum driving time in the following week?

Correct answer

34 hours.

At most 34 hours: 90 minus 56. The ordinary limit is 56 hours in one week and 90 over two consecutive weeks. A week runs from Monday at 00:00 to Sunday at 24:00. Daily limits, breaks and rest periods must also be observed; having 34 hours available does not permit any distribution of those hours. This scenario concerns a service subject to the regulation and its ordinary limits, not every bus or a legal exception.
