DDifficulty 3/5

Under the general rule in Regulation (EC) 561/2006, how many times in one week may daily driving time be extended from nine to ten hours?

Correct answer

At most twice per week.

At most twice. Weekly driving is limited to 56 hours and driving over two consecutive weeks to 90. These are separate limits: three nine-hour days and two ten-hour days total 47, not 56. The regulatory week runs from Monday 00:00 to Sunday 24:00. Breaks and rest must also be observed; having a tachograph does not authorise nonstop driving.
