16 Information to be recorded in relation to a work and rest change

(1) The driver must record the information mentioned in subsections (2) to (5) in relation to a work and rest change—

(a) immediately before or after the change; or

(b) if the day on which the change happens—

(i) is not, at the time of the change, a day for which information must be recorded; but

A driver starts work for a day at 11am, undertaking 100km work under standard hours. Under section 294 of the Law, the driver does not have to record information in a work diary.

The driver must then start recording information required under this section in relation to each work and rest change that later happens on the day.

The driver must also, as soon as practicable, record the information required under this section in relation to each work and rest change that happened from the start of work at 11am.

(iv) a change from being a driver who is a party to a two-up driving arrangement to being a solo driver; and

(b) the time of the work and rest change; and
