• I am having a dispute another driver about i rest when part is taken ferry. We know that it daily rest is broken, part being taken on ferry and part on Ian has to be increased by hours. I say the two Ft can be added to a daily reduced to nine Ix making 11 hours in total my mate says It has t added to the basic rest hours, making a total hours. Who is right?
• Article 9 of EC Rego 3280/85, which allows this I in daily rest, states that wh driver accompanies a goo passenger vehicle which il led by ferry or train the rest period may be intern once on condition that:
• The part of the rest p taken on land is taken befc after that part taken on thE or train; • The period between tit parts is as short as possibl does not exceed one before embarkation or afti embarkation (Customs fo ties being included in embarkation or disembarl operation): • During both parts of thi period the driver has am a bunk or couchette: • A daily rest period ruoted in this way is incn by two hours.
A court might take thf that a driver whose daily I disturbed by driving On or ferry needs more rest—nc The court could take no Article 8 (1), which allows daily rest to be taken in 1 three periods as long as it reduced daily rest and increased by one hour. C ance, I would favour the vie the daily rest period in the cumstances should be 13 I
