by Jak wygląda kontrola regularnego 45 godzinnego odpoczynku w Niemczech?
Czy odpoczynek 44 godzinny to już odpoczynek regularny?
Odpoczynek trwający mniej niż 45 godzin nie będzie uznany za regularny tygodniowy odpoczynek w rozumieniu Rozporządzenia (WE) nr 561/2006, a co za tym idzie – w sytuacji gdy kierowca odbierze np. 44 godzinny odpoczynek, kara nałożona zostanie tylko za godziny brakujące do regularnego tygodniowego odpoczynku.
Szczegółowe informacje dotyczące kontroli dostępne na stronie .
by Kontrola nie przerywa okresu odpoczynku
Zgodnie z decyzją niemieckiego Ministerstwa Transportu i Infrastruktury Cyfrowej przeprowadzenie kontroli nie powoduje automatycznego przerwania okresu odpoczynku.
Uzasadnieniem takiego stanowiska jest fakt, że samo sprawdzenie wydruków tachografu nie wymaga żadnego udziału kierowcy a fakt kontroli polegającej na sprawdzeniu odczytów nie jest rejestrowany w pamięci urządzenia.
