Summary.....
Breaks : 45 minute break can only be taken in two separate periods, not three as now. The first period must be at least 15 minutes and the second at least 30 minutes.
Daily rest : 11 hours rest, may be reduced to a minimum of 9 hours upto 3 times in any one week. Any reductions will not require compensation.
Split daily rest : Maiximum of 2 periods. The first no less than 3 hours & the second at least 9 hours. Which effectively puts an end to being able to extend the duty period to 16 hours, because the regulations also require that, counting forward from the start of duty, all activities and required rest must be taken within 24 hours.
Weekly rest : In any two consecutive weeks, a driver must take at least two standard weekly rest periods (45 hours each) or one standard weekly rest period and one reduced weekly rest period (at least 24 hours).
Reductions in weekly rest down to 24 hours can be taken anywhere, not just away from base, and will need to be compensated by the end of the third week following the reduction.
Weekly / fortnightly driving limit : No change to fortnightly, but a new 56 hour weekly driving limit is introduced.
Double manning : Daily rest 9 hours in 30, but the presence of another driver is optional for the first hour.
Ferry or train : Daily rest may be interrupted twice, providing the rest period is at least 11 hours.
Off road driving : All driving is counted as 'carriage by road' so private site driving cannot be 'other work'
Other work : Drivers must record all other work, including work for other employers, if it is done in the same week as their normal work.

Carriage of passengers
The following concessions will no longer apply :
Duty Rosters & Service Timetables. A regular service in a route over 50km is subject to EC Rules, but a tachograph is not required as long as ........
Weekly rest. In the case of National and International carriage of passengers, other than on regular services, the driver may postpone weekly rest until the end of the 12th day when two consecutive weekly rest periods must be taken.
