16 Information to be recorded in relation to a work and rest change

(1) The driver must record the information mentioned in subsections (2) to (5) in relation to a work and rest change--

(a) immediately before or after the change; or

(b) if the day on which the change happens--

(i) is not, at the time of the change, a day for which information must be recorded; but

(ii) at a later time (the
"later time" ) becomes a day for which information must be recorded;

as soon as practicable after the later time.

Example--: A driver starts work for a day at 11am, undertaking 100km work under standard hours. Under section 294 of the Law, the driver does not have to record information in a work diary.
At 1.30pm the driver arranges with the driver's employer to undertake a journey that day that will take the driver outside the 100km radius from the driver's base. The driver must then start recording information required under this section in relation to each work and rest change that later happens on the day.
The driver must also, as soon as practicable, record the information required under this section in relation to each work and rest change that happened from the start of work at 11am.

(2) In relation to a work and rest change on a day, the driver must record--

(a) whether the change was--

(i) a change from work time to rest time; or

(ii) a change from rest time to work time; or

(iii) a change from being a solo driver to being a driver who is a party to a two-up driving arrangement; or

(iv) a change from being a driver who is a party to a two-up driving arrangement to being a solo driver; and

(b) the time of the work and rest change; and

(c) the place of the work and rest change; and

(d) the odometer reading at the time of the work and rest change, if an odometer is fitted to the fatigue-regulated vehicle; and

(e) the registration number of the fatigue-regulated vehicle, unless--

(i) the registration number has already been recorded for the day in the diary; and

(ii) the driver has not changed vehicles since the record was made.

(3) In relation to a work and rest change on a day, the driver must also record the work time or rest time spent anywhere by the driver since--

(a) the previous work and rest change on the day; or

(b) if there was no previous work and rest change on the day--the start of the day.

(4) If--

(a) subsection (3(b) applies in relation to a particular work and rest change; and

(b) the preceding day was a day for which information must be recorded; and

(c) the last work and rest change during the preceding day was from rest to work;

the driver must also record the work time since that change to the end of the preceding day.

(5) For work time or rest time recorded under subsection (3) and (4), the driver must record whether it was under a two-up driving arrangement.

(6) The driver need not comply with subsection (2)(c) and (d) for a change from rest to work if--

(a) the start and end of the rest time are on the same day; and

(b) the place and the odometer readings have not changed since the driver recorded them at the start of the rest time.
