Example 2
(1) A driver only works under a two-up driving arrangement under BFM hours.
(2) Referring to Table 2 in Schedule 2, in addition to working for no longer than the maximum work times in Column 2, the driver must have at least the following rest time periods (Column 3)—
• 10 continuous hours of stationary rest in every 82 hour period (referred to in this example as requirement A);
• 24 continuous hours of stationary rest in every 7 days (referred to in this example as requirement B);
• 24 hours of stationary rest in blocks of at least 7 continuous hours in every 7 days (referred to in this example as requirement C); and
• 4 night rest breaks in every 14 days (referred to in this example as requirement D).
(3) Section 22 allows the driver to fulfil these requirements in a number of ways, including, for example—
(a) requirement A can be fulfilled concurrently with a block of at least 10 hours under requirement C, and, if at least 7 hours of the rest period taken are between 10pm on a day and 8am the next day, this can also fulfil the requirement for 1 of the night rest breaks under requirement D; or
(b) requirement B can be fulfilled concurrently with requirement A and the requirement for 1 of the night rests under requirement D.
(4) However, under section 22(3), the driver cannot fulfil requirement B concurrently with requirement C.
