Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: After a continuous rest break of 7 hours.
A driver of a commercial vehicle with an all up weight of 10,000 kg or more may start work only after a continuous rest break of at least 7 hours. The rule prevents fatigue, which slows reactions and reduces concentration, a serious danger when driving a heavy vehicle. A break of 4, 5 or 6 hours is not enough, even if the driver feels alert.
