Question for Roger
Discussion
Is there any reason that you cannot have a sixteen hour working day providing that driver's hours and working time rests and limits are observed, where the following day's starting times are not fixed and can be moved forward to accommodate a nine-eleven hour rest period?
The 15hr maximum that is accepted appears to me to be the result of a reduced rest period example (24hrs - 9hrs rest = 15hrs), but this example uses a fixed start time.
The rules are far from straightforward but I don't ever recall seeing a limit on a working day, only minimum rest periods and 3x reduced rest periods per week. The conclusion drawn in the examples is that this equates to a maximum duty period of fifteen hours, but the example appears to be flawed and inaccurate where drivers do not have a fixed starting time.
