A HGV driver can get no less than nine hours’ daily rest within a 24-hour period up to three times in a week. This means that drivers can work three 15-hour days within the space of a week.Click to see full answer. Keeping this in consideration, what is the 6 hour rule?In short the 6 hour rule is: A driver may not WORK (That means both driving & other work) for more than 6 hours at once without taking a break. Before working beyond the 6 hours you must have taken a break of at least 15 minutes. You can take this before or upon reaching 6 hours of work. how many 9 hour breaks in a week? However, in the case a driver wants to split their resting hours, a break of no less than 3 hours and no less than 9 hours may be taken within one 24-hour period, totalling 12 hours rest. No more than three times a week this rest can be reduced to 9 hours per day. Likewise, does other work count as driving time? However, if you do other work before driving this will count towards your working time, so you must remember that you must never work (including driving) for more than 6 hours without a break. In other words take a break after no more than 4.5 hours of driving or 6 hours of work, which ever happens soonest.Can I drive an HGV 6 days a week? Re: driving x2 6 days Yes you can, but a full 45 hour weekly rest period must count for at-least one of the weeks.
