How should Joseph have taken his break?

Explanation: • 20 minutes then 25 minutes: No, to comply with Article EU 561/2006, the first break must be of at least 15 minutes and the second break must be of at least 30 minutes.
• 18 minutes then 27 minutes: No, to comply with Article EU 561/2006, the first break must be of at least 15 minutes and the second break must be of at least 30 minutes.
• 30 minutes then 30 minutes: No, this pattern does meet the definition under Article 7 of EU 561/2006 but it is not the best answer here as it "wastes" 15 minutes of a driver's working period.
• 15 minutes then 30 minutes: Yes, this complies with Article 7 of EU 561/2006.
