    You can still drive 11 hours but you can't drive more than 8 hours without taking a 30 minute break.

    You still have a 14 hour window in which to be on duty , 11 hours of this can be driving. You must not drive without taking a 30 minute break after being ON Duty for 8 hours. (It is on duty time not driving time with regards to the 8 hours)
     
    KMac and southpaw2153 Thank this.
