Message: [QUOTE="stuskimac, post: 11078967, member: 81834"] Scenario: Driver J.Bloggs starts work at 06:00am, picks up his keys & paperwork from the transport office, has a quick chat & then goes to find his wagon. Puts his digi card in the tacho, makes his manual entries if required & carries out his daily vehicle checks. Goes to find his empty trailer, hooks up & carries out his trailer checks. He's finally ready to roll at 06:30, there's 30mins other work gone. He has a journey of 60mins to his first port of call, the loading point. 60mins driving time. When he gets there he has a live load curtain side. it takes him 45mins to load, including strapping/securing the load. He goes to the office & waits 15mins for the paperwork & finally departs at 08:30, he's got 2 drops to do. He drives for 2 hours & 10 mins to his first tip & arrives at 10:40am. It takes 10mins at the gatehouse booking in, he eventually gets in, parks opposite goods in & goes to the office to book in, theres a queue, he eventually gets a bay, its a curtain side tip, it takes 20 mins to tip, 15 mins for paperwork to be checked, signed & returned, tacho has been on cross hammers for the duration, he finally departs at 11:25. His next drop is only 45mins away, he's only done 3hours 10mins driving & got plenty of driving time left to pull it in. Should he : A) crack on to the next drop without a break. B) Find somewhere to park up for 15min break then crack on. C) Find somewhere to park up for 30min break then crack on. (thus resetting 6 hour WTD rule) D)Find somewhere to park up for 45min break then crack on. ( thus resetting 6 hour WTD rule & resetting driving time 4 1/2 rule) Upon tacho analysis will reveal answers A & B an infringement has been made, insufficient breaks WTD. Answers C & D, perfectly fine, no infringements. Some transport office wallahs get really pissy at tacho infringements with drivers & you could find yourself on a disciplinary. [/QUOTE]
