Yes, but it’s worth letting others have their say before I give away the answer, you know, all those who say they never learn anything on a DCPC 
It’s pretty straight forward really

i have noted that is often the WAY in which the rules are explained for each person
Giving a realistic example can often help
shullbit:
7 days on my card? How can I do this? Do you have any examples?
By changing your start time and taking a reduced** weekly rest over two days.
For example, if you work midnight to 1200 shifts, rest 1200 until 1200 the next day for a 24 hour reduced weekly rest and then work 1200 to midnight shifts you can get 7 12 hour shifts in a fixed week.
(** Reduced weekly rest to get a full shift in each calendar day. You can get one minute or more of a shift in every calendar day and have up to 47h58 weekly rest.)
I can simplify it more than that.
You work Monday to Friday as normal (5 days showing)
Then some overtime Saturday, lets say for example 6am to 12 noon (6 days showing)
Reduced Weekly rest from Sat noon until (minimum) Sunday noon.
Sunday, anytime you like after noon, start work again (7 days showing)
Seven days showing on your tacho card within one fixed week, completely legally.
The word DAY is not in the regs for a reason
The regs are done by HOURS not DAYS
Example -
Start Sunday 2200 and finish Saturday 0100
That leaves 45 hours for a regular weekly rest
Every DAY of the week has been worked in
That can be done every week

Hence why any driver or TM who has ever had any input from me is told they need to think in “24 hour periods, not days”
I think with this post, and your earlier post, you’ve missed the point that my anecdote was relating to a complaining driver and their misunderstanding of the rules, not mine.
