Driver of a commercial vehicle with an all up weight exceeding 6,000 kg, shall have a rest without working of at least 25 consecutive hours during every period of:
- 6 days.
- 12 days.
- Correct answer: 8 days.
- 10 days.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 8 days.
A driver of a commercial vehicle with an all up weight over 6,000 kg must take a rest of at least 25 consecutive hours, with no driving and no other work, within every period of 8 days. The rule prevents fatigue from building up in heavy-vehicle drivers, which harms concentration and reaction time. Longer periods such as 10 or 12 days are not allowed.
