CDifficulty 3/5

A driver performs goods transport subject to Regulation (EC) 561/2006. Which sequence permits splitting the minimum 45-minute break for a driving period of up to four and a half hours?

Correct answer

15 minutes followed by 30 minutes

In goods transport, the 45-minute break may be replaced by a first break of at least 15 minutes followed by another of at least 30 minutes, interspersed during the driving period. The minimum durations cannot be reversed or replaced by three 10-minute breaks. The flexibility introduced in 2024 for occasional passenger services does not apply to this goods-transport situation.
