Note: Example
Note: If a driver starts work at midday on Monday, after a 2‑day break, the minimum rest times that the driver might have would be:
• 15 continuous minutes rest time before 5:30 pm
• another 15 continuous minutes rest time before 8:00 pm (i.e. a total of 30 minutes rest time since midday)
• another continuous 30 minutes rest time before 11:00 pm (i.e. a total of 60 minutes rest time since midday)
• another continuous 7 hours rest time before midday on Tuesday.
Note: The driver could do the same hours through to Saturday, but would have to take a break from midday Sunday until midday Monday (i.e. 24 hours stationary continuous rest). Additionally, the driver would have to take at least one other of his or her 7 hour rests during the period 10:00 pm to 8:00 am.
Note: The driver could continue the same pattern for a second week, through until the second Saturday, if the driver has had a night’s rest time (i.e. 7 continuous hours rest time between 10:00 pm and 08:00 am) on 4 nights, including 2 consecutive nights, during the fortnight ending on midday on the second Sunday.
Note: (This example assumes that the driver has remained in the same time zone during the entire period described.)
