(6) More flexible rules in the scheduling and distribution of the breaks and rest periods of drivers engaged in occasional road passenger transport services should in no wayallow drivers to better organise their working time, notably during periods of peak travel demand. In no way should it jeopardise the safety of drivers, or road safety, increase the level of fatigue or stress of drivers or lead to a deterioration in working conditions. Such flexibility should therefore not alter the current rules on the total minimum breaks, on maximum driving periods per day and per week and on the maximum fortnightly driving time.

(8) More flexibility in the scheduling of breaks for drivers engaged in occasional road passenger transport services should not prevent those drivers from taking breaks of the minimum duration necessary to enable them to rest properly. Therefore, it is appropriate to set a minimum duration for each break. Therefore, drivers engaged in occasional road passenger transport services should be allowed to split their obligatory break into two or three separate breaks of at least 15 minutes each, in addition to the other possibility of splitting a break.

(9) To ensure that greater flexibility in the scheduling of rest periods of drivers engaged in occasional road passenger transport services is not abused, it is essential to clearly delimitfine the scope of such flexibility and also to provide for appropriate checks by national authorities supported by ELA. Drivers should therefore be able to postpone the start of their daily rest periods for a maximum period of 1 or 2 hours, in cases where the driving period for that day has not exceeded 5 or 7 hours respectively, and should postpone the start only when carrying out journeys of 8 days or longer. Such flexibility should be further limited to only one of each derogation during the period of the tour. It should be also possible to counter check such circumstances with a printout from the recording equipment or the duty roster, in addition to the tachograph records. Such information should also be made digitally accessible. In this regard, the Commission and the Member States should explore developing new or adapting existing digital systems to ensure sufficient capacity for national authorities as well as information sharing between them.
