Im back on agency work ys off,and plan on working 6 days,then having 2 days off,then work 6 again,basically for as long as I can.As Im not reducing my weekly rest period,can I continue doing 6 condecutive shifts? Cheers Ian
5 days one week. 6 days the next week.
You’re fine to do six shifts every week providing you’re not reducing your weekly rest (ie minimum 45 hours).
Make sure you keep in mind the 90 hour fortnightly driving limit and WTD requirements though.
No the op is correct just keep a close eye on your weekly driving hours

Yes you can but you will probably find that you have to have another day off around week 10/11 or there will be a week when there’s not a weekly rest period counting for that particular week.
Keep an eye on your weekly rest periods and ensure that one counts for each week and you’ll be fine

Doesn’t matter WTF you drive - its the weekly rest period that will cause you a problem. I was on one job driving 4hrs a night but it was a 12hr shift.

if working domestic rules yes but not on eu rules you cant, and seeing as he’s asked about weekly rests and driving time i guess the OP is on about eu rules

Weekly rest periods.
A driver must start a weekly rest period no later than at the end of six consecutive 24-hour periods from the end of the last weekly rest period.

Where does it say you cant do 7 shifts then ?
You can work 7 shifts in the six periods of 24 hours (144 hours) on EU regulations, though there does appear to be some debate as to whether or not you could do it in other EU countries.

I know I know but Lee G said I didn’t know what I was saying.
I might be able to save you a load of arguing here. We’ve had several multipage discussions on this very subject, which to be honest got really boring. So i’ll try give the info and outcome as we know it !!!..
Two camps…law says have a rest after no more than 6 24 hour periods which some (me) take to mean 6 shift as was the law for years.
Other camp says 6x24 equals 144hours, you ca do what you like as long as you have a weekly rest by this 144 hour limit.
The interpretation maybe up for discussion but there has been no court case over it. Also the VOSA/DFT take on it is that the 144 hour limit is the correct one and not the six shifts. So, in the UK at least. You can do what you like as long as you don;t exceed 144 hours before your break.
I got that summary correct Tachograph ?

I’ve been looking for that thread but couldn’t find it … thank Christ 
And yes I’d say you’ve summed it up perfectly
