Which type of driver must rest at least 7 consecutive hours before commencing his work day?
- Correct answer: Driver of a public service vehicle and of a commercial vehicle that has an all up weight of more than 6,000 kg and that is permitted to carry at least 11 passengers.
- Drivers carrying hazardous materials.
- Every holder of a Class 1 driving license.
- Every holder of a Class B driving license.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Driver of a public service vehicle and of a commercial vehicle that has an all up weight of more than 6,000 kg and that is permitted to carry at least 11 passengers.
The duty to rest at least 7 consecutive hours before the work day starts applies to the driver of a public service vehicle and of a commercial vehicle, under the conditions in the answer: an all up weight of more than 6,000 kg, and carrying or being permitted to carry at least 11 passengers. The duty does not depend on the licence class, so it does not apply to every holder of a Class B or Class 1 driving licence.
