I've 'sussed' the driving rules . . .

Each 24 hours must have a 10 hour continuous 'rest' period (leaving 14 hours - during which 11 can be driven).
After 4 continuous 14 / 11 hour days only 4 further hours can be worked (total 60 hours). If daily driving is less than 11 then 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days is allowed.
After 60 (or 70) hours duty a 24 hour period and a 10 hour rest period must be taken before driving can resume.
If driving only - maximum 11 hours per day (no non-driving hours) then after 5 days a further 5 hours can be worked before a 'weekend' (24+10 hours) must be taken.
As far as I can tell this effectively means 5 days with one hour per day 'not driving' then a 'weekend'.
Anybody got any better combinations?
