What is the minimum consecutive hours of off-duty time required to reset the Cycle 2?

To reset Cycle 2 as per the regulations, a driver must have a minimum of 72 consecutive hours of off-duty time. Cycle 2 is designed for those who are not driving more than 1,500 kilometers per week and want to ensure they accumulate sufficient rest to safely operate their vehicle. The requirement for 72 hours allows for a well-deserved extended break, ensuring that the driver is adequately rested and in a condition to drive safely afterwards. This duration also helps in managing fatigue and maintaining overall safety standards within the trucking industry. The other options, while they vary in duration from 36 to 60 hours, do not provide the necessary time for a complete reset of Cycle 2 as stipulated in the regulations.
