Road package - estensions of driving time

Estensions of driving time (20.08.2020)

A driver will be allowed to exceed the daily or weekly driving time by a maximum of one hour to reach his base or place of residence in order to take a weekly regular and reduced rest period. However, the condition is that the extra hour of driving must not jeopardise road safety.

The driver will also have a second option - he will be able to extend his journey by up to two hours, provided that he takes a 30-minute break immediately before the start of the additional working time.
 
The reasons for the extension of working hours shall be entered by hand on the record sheet of the recording equipment, on a printout from the recording equipment or on a duty roster, at the latest upon arrival at the destination.
 
Any extended working time must be compensated by an equivalent period of rest, taken in one go before the end of the third working week following the week in which the extended driving took place.
