Question Category: Drivers' hours and rest periods


After driving continuously for the maximum period under EU rules, a bus driver must take a break. What's the minimum duration of this break?


Explanation

"After a driving for a period of no more than 4.5 hours, you must take a break of at least 45 minutes, which mustn't be interrupted. If you're carrying passengers, they'll probably also be grateful for a break. Taking breaks at the correct time will keep you and your passengers safe and comfortable."
