Core concepts

Applicable hours regimes, driving, breaks, rest, working time, records, tachograph controls and driver qualification or periodic training.
Exam cue: Choose the correct regime before calculating a schedule, then test every driving, duty, break, rest and record requirement.
Concept 2
Choose the correct regime before calculating a schedule, then test every driving, duty, break, rest and record requirement.
Exam cue: Identify the current jurisdiction, date and official source before relying on a threshold, form or procedure.
Concept 3
Do not merge assimilated, AETR, domestic or working-time rules; route, vehicle and service facts decide which apply.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Memory anchors
Regime before arithmetic
Vehicle, route, service and exemption facts determine the rule set.
Timeline method
Mark work, driving, availability, break, rest and other work in order.
Two clocks
Drivers' hours and working-time compliance must both be checked.
Record control
Create, download, inspect, retain, act and evidence correction.
Driver CPC boundary
Driver CPC qualifies professional drivers; Transport Manager CPC qualifies the manager.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
