Weekly driving must be assessed alongside the rolling two-week limit.

Operational guidance
Do not treat a remaining weekly balance as automatic authority to continue. Daily limits, breaks, rest deadlines, working time, road safety and the actual duty must all remain compliant.
This summary is deliberately conservative. Exemptions, derogations, mixed operations, international journeys and exceptional circumstances require specific assessment.
