ā¦51 mins and other work 3hrs. Then I took a break of 1hr in the canteen whilst truck had pallets off-loaded. Driven next on my second 4.5 limit but took a break when I had 25mins remaining. Do I take a 45 or a 30?
You need take 45 mins to reset your driving time
But if you can make it back in your 4 half. hours all you would need is 15 mins.

You need another 30 minutes break before exceeding 41/2 hours driving time.

Not clear when you took your second break and.how long for
All it says you took it with 25 mins driving left.
So if you took a break of 15 mins or more you only need half an hour.
If less then 15 mins then a full 45.
Yeh sorry for being unclear. I was going to carry on driving until I got nearer to 4hrs 30. But as we know,parking area will never be on tap. So I took the opportunity of a parking space at 4hr 8mins driving,or thereabouts. I had thought it might be 30 mins,but took a 45 just incase
If you needed to drive on, only 45 minutes would reset the 4.5hr driving time. Either made up of 15 + 30, or a 45 minute break.
Iām acquainted with as you mention,to apply that in the first part of my shift (morning or just after midday),it is the second part of my shift where I seldom reach 4.5hrs
