• 3 hours: No, this does meet the requirement of a daily rest period of 11 hours, however, the question asks 'How many hours is Joseph short of a 'reduced daily' period.
• 4 hours: No, this is too long.
• 1 hour: Yes, this meets the requirement of a 'reduced daily rest' and is the most efficient use of a driver's working time in this example.
