You have driven 4 h without a valid break. Then, a 45-minute break (or 15 + 30, in that order).

Driving time calculator.
Driving time calculator.
What you have left, before the tachograph counts it.
This free calculator applies the driving and rest time rules of Regulation (EC) 561/2006 to what you have done: it shows how long you can still drive before your break, in the working day, in the week and in two weeks, and the time your rest must start. Enter what you have driven, or plan to drive. No signup, and it runs in your browser.
Calculated at the end of the last block: Wed 14 Oct, 10:20.
You have driven 4 h since 06:00. With an extension to 10 h (1 left this week): 6 h.
21 h 45 of 56 h since Monday.
Enter above what you drove last week to check the 90 h.
To get 11 h in a row within the 24 h of the working day. Reduced 9 h rest: before Wed 14 Oct, 21:00 (3 left until the next weekly rest).
Six 24-hour periods from the last one, which ended on Mon 12 Oct, 06:00. Regular 45 h or reduced 24 h.

Then a 45-minute break. It can be split into 15 + 30, in that order and before you reach 4 h 30.
Art. 7 Regulation (EC) 561/2006Per working day
Ten hours at most twice a week. The working day runs from one daily rest to the next, not from midnight to midnight.
Art. 6.1 Regulation (EC) 561/2006Per week
From Monday at 00:00 to Sunday at 24:00.
Art. 6.2 Regulation (EC) 561/2006In two consecutive weeks
So a 56 h week forces the next one to stay under 34 h.
Art. 6.3 Regulation (EC) 561/2006Daily rest
Within 24 h of the end of the previous one. Reduced to 9 h, three times between two weekly rests; or 3 h + 9 h.
Arts. 8.2 and 8.4 Regulation (EC) 561/2006Weekly rest
It must start before six 24-hour periods have passed since the last one. Regular 45 h; reduced 24 h with compensation.
Art. 8.6 Regulation (EC) 561/2006
Already have the driver card download?
The tachograph analyzer reads the .ddd or .tgd file and runs the same checks on what the tachograph actually recorded. In Cofactu, the company also keeps each download with its fingerprint and history, alongside the services, the consignment note (carta de porte) and the DeCA of each trip.

How to use it, what counts and what does not.
Talk to usHow do I use the calculator?
Enter in blocks what you have done since your last weekly rest (driving, other work, availability and breaks), with the day and the times on your clock. Anything you leave between two blocks counts as rest. The calculation is made at the end of the last block: what you have left before the break, in the working day, in the week and in two weeks, and when your daily and weekly rest must start.
How long can I drive without stopping?
4 h 30. Then you must stop for 45 minutes, which can be split into 15 and 30, in that order. If you stop for 30 and then 15, the break does not count: Article 7 of Regulation (EC) 561/2006 requires the first part to be the 15 minutes.
How many hours can I drive in a day?
9 hours per working day, which can be extended to 10 hours at most twice a week. The working day does not run from midnight to midnight: it runs from the end of one daily rest to the start of the next.
How many hours can I drive in a week?
56 hours from Monday to Sunday, and 90 hours in two consecutive weeks. If you drove 56 h last week, you have 34 h left this week. Enter what you drove last week so the calculator takes it into account.
When must my daily rest start?
The 11 h daily rest has to fit within the 24 h after the end of the previous rest: if you started at 6:00, you must be resting by 19:00. With a reduced 9 h rest (three times between two weekly rests) you can start at 21:00.
Does the calculator take exceptions into account?
No. It calculates the general times of Regulation (EC) 561/2006 and does not apply the exceptions of Art. 13, the AETR, ferry or train, multi-manning, or compensation for reduced weekly rests. It is indicative: what counts in an inspection is the tachograph.
Is what I type saved?
No. It is calculated in your browser and is not sent or stored anywhere: if you reload the page, the example comes back.
