Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
This question is about a tram driver's rest, taking into account all forms of employment. A tram driver cannot rest for less than 11 hours per day - the answer is NO.
The Labour Code guarantees every employee the right to at least 11 hours of uninterrupted rest in every day-and-night period (doba). A tram driver should not shorten it with extra work for another employer - a tired driver reacts more slowly and judges situations worse, similarly to a driver after alcohol. A well-rested tram driver is a condition for passenger safety. The Road Traffic Act also requires every road user to avoid actions that could endanger safety - and driving a tram without rest is such an action.
Legal basis: Art. 132 § 1 of the Labour Code; Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
