Armagedon:
There you go,so many people,so many ideas about what is right or wrong.
Well here is the right way.
========================================================================================
Detailed instructions for making use of the ferry option while using a ferry and interrupting your daily rest.
Arrive in port after no more than about 12 hours since the start of your shift.
Book on ferry and move to lanes to wait for boarding.
Change mode to rest and select end country to begin daily rest period.
Just prior to boarding change mode to other work, navigate the menu to the ferry option and select it. This marks the data with the reason you are interrupting your rest period, think of it as an old Biro scribbling an explanation on a tacho chart.
Drive on board, mode will change to driving.
Park, change mode to rest and go upstairs. Collect your cabin key and enjoy the crossing.
Two options now
1. You have not had 11 hours rest in total from the period before boarding and the period on board.
Return to the vehicle, change the mode to other work and again navigate the menu and select the ferry option. This again marks the data with the reason for the interruption, keep thinking of it as an old Biro scribbling an explanation on a tacho chart.
Disembark when called forward, mode will change to driving.
Park up, change mode to rest.
When you have at least 11 hours total rest from the three rest periods change mode to other work, select begin country and crack on.
2. If you have had at least 11 hours total rest between the two periods.
Return to the vehicle, change mode to other work, select begin country and crack on.
NOTE.
The interruption(s) must total no more than one hour. All the other daily rest requirements apply so you cannot do more than 12 - 12.5 hours before arriving at the port or there will not be enough time to fit the interruption(s) and the 11 hour rest required into the 24-hour period. You must have access to a bunk or couchette for all parts of the rest and a reclining chair or fancy sun lounger on a ferry is neither a bunk or couchette.
