Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Usually a driver takes his weekly rest on Saturday/Sunday. If he is asked to produce his tachograph records the following week he will produce the sheets for that week and the last day of the previous week and they will show his weekly rest.

In common with a lot of international drivers, our driver takes his weekly rest in the middle of the week.

If he resumes on a Thursday and is checked by an enforcement officer the following Tuesday it appears he will only have to show him records for that week and the previous Sunday, none of which will show that he has had a weekly rest period. This would make it impossible for enforcement staff to determine whether the driver had had a weekly rest. It is difficult to imagine that this is the intention of the law. What are your views on this?
