LGV Initial Driver CPC Theory Module 2 Study Material Double Manning

REST PERIODS WHEN DOUBLE MANNED

Drivers rest breaks are the same as that of single manned journeys. If they choose, a driver can take either:

  • A regular rest period of at least 11 hours in the 30-hour period
  • A split daily rest within the 30-hour period, so long as it is taken with the first period being at least three hours, and the second period being at least nine hours
  • A reduced rest period of at least 9 hours in the 30-hour period

REST DURING PERIOD OF AVAILABILITY

On a multi-manning operation, 45 minutes of a period of availability will be considered a break, so long as the co-driver does no work.

 

The maximum driving time for a two-man crew within a 30 hour period is 20 hours before a daily rest is required (although only if both drivers are entitled to drive 10 hours).

 
 

Minimum daily rest period

Each driver must have a daily rest period of at least 9 hours within a 30-hour period
