Breaks and continuous driving
After 5.5 hours of driving you must take a break of at least 30 minutes when you must be able to rest and take refreshment.
Or, within any period of 8.5 hours, you must take at least 45 minutes in breaks. You must have a break of at least 30 minutes at the end of this period, unless it’s the end of the working day.
Length of working day (‘spreadover’)
You must not work more than 16 hours in any one day - including non driving work and any times when you’re off duty.
Daily rest periods
You must take a rest of 10 hours between 2 working days. This can be reduced to 8.5 hours up to 3 times a week.
Fortnightly rest periods
Every 2 weeks you must take at least one period of 24 hours off duty.
A fixed week is from 00:00am on Monday to 23:59pm on the next Sunday.
