42 Counting time from outside the participating zone
(1) This section applies to a driver if the driver drives a regulated heavy vehicle into this jurisdiction from another jurisdiction within the non‑participating zone.
Note: Section 22(5) explains what the non‑participating zone is.
(2) If, within the last 7 days, the driver has spent any work time inside the participating zone, any time spent by the driver in the other jurisdiction within the non‑participating zone is to be treated in the same way as it would have been treated if the time had been spent in this jurisdiction. (3) If, within the last 7 days, the driver spent any work time outside the participating zone: (a) any time spent in the other jurisdiction before the start of the driver’s last major rest break before entering this jurisdiction is to be disregarded; and (b) any time spent in the other jurisdiction after the start of that major rest break is to be taken into account; and (c) any time spent by the driver in the non‑participating zone (or another jurisdiction in the participating zone) after the start of that major rest break is to be treated in the same way as it would have been treated if the time had been spent in this jurisdiction.
