How long rest period is a driver required to take as a compensation for the shortened weekly rest period that lasted 24 hours?

Explanation

Correct answer: 21 hours.

According to the regulations, a regular weekly rest period is at least 45 hours. If a driver has taken a reduced rest period of 24 hours, they must take compensation equal to the difference between these two values. Therefore, the time to be compensated is 21 hours (45 hours - 24 hours = 21 hours).
