Correct answer

C. three times between two-week rest periods.

Explanation

The question is about using a reduced daily rest period. You may take it three times between two weekly rest periods - answer C.

The EU Regulation states that a driver may take at most three reduced daily rest periods between any two weekly rest periods. A reduced daily rest period lasts at least 9 hours but less than 11 hours, and - unlike a reduced weekly rest period - it does not have to be compensated. The key point is that the limit refers to the period between weekly rest periods, not to a calendar week, which is why answer B is wrong and answer A is too strict. You must take your daily rest period, including a reduced one, within 24 hours of the end of the previous daily or weekly rest period, because otherwise the infringement will be visible in the tachograph data during a check.

Legal basis: Art. 8 para. 2 and 4 and Art. 4 letter g of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006
