Answer 1

[edit] European Union

Main article: Drivers working hours

In the European Union, drivers working hours are regulated by EU regulation (EC) No 561/2006 [1] which entered into force on April 11, 2007. The non-stop driving time may not exceed 4.5 hours. After 4.5 hours of driving the driver must take a break period of at least 45 minutes. however, this can be split into 2 breaks, the first being at least 15 minutes, and the second being at least 30 minutes in length. The weekly driving time may not exceed 56 hours. In addition to this, a driver cannot exceed 90 hours driving in a fortnight.

Hi, sorry, but your question doesn't really make sense! However, for information on tachographs and driving hours etc please visit the department for transport's website: http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/freight/road/w...
