What is the minimum daily rest for Gasco drivers when they are taking this rest in their cabs?

Explanation: • 9 hours: No, this is the requirement for a reduced daily rest but Gasco drivers cannot take this in their vehicle because they are fitted with day cabs which do not have a bunk.
• 10 hours: No, but this is the maximum number of hours they can drive in a day.
• 11 hours: No, but this is the number of hours for a regular daily rest.
• They cannot take a daily rest in their cabs: Correct, because they are day cabs they are not fitted with a bunk and Article 8(8) of EU 561/2006 states that 'a reduced daily rest may be taken in a vehicle provided it has suitable sleeping facilities and the vehicle is stationary'.
