This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
Professional and long-distance driver site: EU 561/2006 driving and rest-time calculator (a genuine high-volume EE/LV query), fatigue-vs-alcohol equivalence ("17 h awake = 0.05 %"), driving after a night shift, eating on the road (calories of every roadside chain meal), microsleep signs.
How to use it
Use Driving hours, rest breaks and fatigue as an orientation page: identify the practical question, inspect the named source base, and follow the scope boundary to the related guide or official service.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.

Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
