Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. 90 hours.
Explanation
The question is about the maximum total time of driving a bus in two consecutive weeks. It is 90 hours - answer B.
The EU Regulation states that the total driving time in two consecutive weeks must not exceed 90 hours, and in one week - 56 hours. Both limits apply at the same time: if you drove 56 hours in the first week, you have at most 34 left in the second. The value of 100 hours (answer A) exceeds the limit. An employment contract (answer C) cannot set a longer time, because the EU rules are absolutely binding - at most, the employer can provide for a shorter time. The limits protect passengers from a tired driver, and compliance with them is checked on the basis of the tachograph.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006
