What's the maximum, non-extended daily driving time of a driver working in road transport?

The question is about the daily driving time of a driver working in road transport. The maximum non-extended daily driving time is 9 hours - answer B.

The EU Regulation states that the daily driving time must not exceed 9 hours, but it may be extended to at most 10 hours, not more than twice a week. The question is about non-extended time, so the answer is 9 hours; 11 hours does not appear in the rules on driving time - this number is the regular daily rest period, which can be reduced to 9 hours at most three times between weekly rest periods. The answer 8 hours is the daily working time norm of a driver, not a limit for driving alone. On top of this come breaks: after 4.5 hours of driving, a driver is entitled to a break of at least 45 minutes, which can be split into 15 and 30 minutes. Driving time is monitored by the tachograph, and exceeding it leads to a penalty for both the driver and the carrier.
