I’ve had 15 mins other work at start of shift checking unit to be told run is not ready for 3 hours so had 3 hours break. Another driver has told me this wouldn’t count as a split daily rest as there is no driving on the card and only 15 mins work (As a manual Entry).
You don’t have to show any driving before having the 3 hours of rest, if you’ve done 15 minutes other work there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have a split daily rest period.
Remember though that you should still have completed the final 9 hours rest within the period of 24 hours from the start of the shift.
By the way, technically the 3 hours have to be rest not break, that means you should be free to do what you want, not that anyone’s likely to know unless you tell them

Do you mean hours
No, I mean if he’s done 15 minutes other work before the 3 hour rest period then the 3 hours rest can count as the first part of a split daily rest period.
