Q: What is a "qualifying rest break or sleeper berth period" under the definition of adverse driving conditions?
A: A qualifying rest break or sleeper berth period is either the sleeper berth period of at least 7 hours or the rest period of at least 2 hours in the sleeper berth or off-duty as described under the sleeper berth exception, as well as any 10-consecutive hour or more break. The 30-minute break is not a qualifying rest break or sleeper berth period under the adverse driving conditions definition.
