Revision question · Drivers' hours and rest periods

You are properly multi-manning a vehicle and spend 45 minutes beside the other driver without assisting or doing other work. How can this period count under the drivers’ hours rules?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

As a break in daily driving

As driving time

Show the answer

As a break in daily drivingThis was the right answer

The first 45 minutes of availability beside the driver can count as a driving break if you do no other work. Use the appropriate second-driver recording slot. This is not daily or weekly rest in a moving vehicle.
