During a journey with a co-driver, how should the time when the other person is driving be recorded?

• A. As a break in daily driving
• B. As driving time
• C. As weekly rest period
• D. As daily rest period

Answer: (A)

When two drivers share the journey, the vehicle is still being driven for the whole period. Driving time is counted based on who is behind the wheel, not on who is logged in as the driver. So the time when your co-driver is driving should be recorded as driving time, because the activity involves actively driving the vehicle. It isn’t a break or rest period, since you’re still in the role of driving, and it isn’t the weekly or daily rest block, which are times when the driver is not available for driving. This approach keeps each driver’s actual driving hours accurate and ensures rest requirements are met based on the real driving time.
