When working on construction sites and delivering several loads each day to the same site. These drivers would have a maximum working day of how long?

Explanation: • 8 hours: No, this is not true.
• 10 hours: No, the drivers will have a maximum 10 hour driving period but that does not prevent then from doing other non-driving work.
• 16 hours: No, it is less than this because of the requirement for all HGV drivers working under EU drivers hours law to have a daily rest of at least 9 hours in every 24 hour period.
• 15 hours: Yes, there is no maximum duty period but the shortest daily rest that a driver may take in any 24 hour period is 9 hours and. if we take that 9 hours away from 24 we are left with a maximum duty period of 15 hours.
