If that driver has a 10 hour driving day available then put that driver on it - but hope there are no hold ups - that driver has only been working for 1 hour and not driving, according to the info supplied.
If hold-ups are possible then double manning would be better as the driver in the question has only worked for 1 hour and this is permissable for double manning
There is one other way if a company car available - driver A follows truck in car for 1 hour then swaps with driver B who drives car back to depot - I think that is allowed…

It would be up to the boss to put right the 48 hour average if one week went above it.
Apart from the RT(WTD)R there is no problem as the weekly rest needs to be started by 0700 Sunday

1…2
2…12
3… 
how much other work did you do?
4…if you have only been working and not driving, then you could do it---------get another driver to do it-----stick a new card in 
------double man your truck------
5…if hes finished before 7 am on sunday, he will still be legal so long as he sticks to eu rules on daily driving time…etc as he will have had a reduced weekly rest of 24 hrs and as he dont drive in the week,he probally still has wtd hours left so no need to worry about that

4 times (10 hour driving time resets on a Sunday night/Monday morning at midnight) if you work over the weekend and monday and tuesday but cant use them teh follwoing weekend. usually just 2 a week!

send the driver if he has a 10 hour drive available but if it was me planning it i wouldnt chance it, i would either double man it or night out the driver (the trailer would get there that day but he wouldnt get back in one if he met any delays.)

If he was to have a full weekly rest he would need to be finished by 1000 on Saturday, reduced rest 0700 on sunday

Assuming that you’re working to EU regulations, the weekly rest should start no later than 06:00 Sunday.

There is a maximum of 4 hours other work available to make 56 up to 60 max for RT(WTD)R but no idea of how much is actually done
It could be argued that the minimum other work is 15 mins each day for the vehicle checks
Needs clarification before an answwer can be given

hi tachograph well done mate
you spotted the trick in my question did you
I would have answered 0600 Sun if you had asked what is the LATEST that you can start the next weekly rest but that was not your question

Rog there would in fact be lots of answers to this question cos i did not say what time the driver starts on the other days did not say the latest cos then that would of made the question easy all the info is there to course confusion
the answers that is was looking for was Sunday 06.00
what i could of said was
When would a weekly rest be required, your start time was Monday 6am you have had a 45 hour rest
which would of made the question to easy
As Del said, if you gave a specific answer to the question it almost had to be wrong, as the question was so vague Del would simply change the question without you knowing

As far as I can see the only possible indisputable answer would be the latest time legally allowed

I’m sure I’m misunderstanding this but … you want to add other work to rest time 
Care to explain why you would need to take a weekly rest at 21:00 Friday, and why there’s no other work in your example when Del clearly said only work and driving was done ?

You’ve used minimum rest times in your example but the question never said how much rest was being taken between each shift, it said maximum driving, no POA and minimum breaks so your answer is in fact not as per the question. The only possible answer which cannot be disputed is 06:00 Sunday.
You added stuff into a question and got the answer wrong, that’s not like you. OH!!! Hang on, that’s exactly like you.

Where does it say that the driver has the same start time each day?
I would put that slightly differently - the LATEST start time for weekly rest is 0600 sunday which I already said earlier 
From what I can see, there is no answer to the question as the info supplied is insufficient
But it’s fun to try and guess what answer Del is thinking of without the use of a crystal ball

It doesn’t, that’s the point. You can only answer based on the given info and most of the info was just a red herring to disguise the fact it was actually a simple question. The only relevant bit of the question is 06:00 Monday, everything else is just padding as it really doesn’t matter how much driving was done or breaks taken, and that leads to 06:00 Sunday being the only possible answer.
