Okay, so let me make sure this is right.Unless there is a situation where it can not be avoided, at 11 hours you stop. Period, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Or to make it really simple, it's illegal!
However the way you stated "where it can not be avoided" this can only be used in "adverse weather conditions or an emergency!" As said before there is a provision allowing you to drive to the nearest place to stop. This does not allow for poor planning on the drivers part ie...no parking at the truckstop, traffic stopped due to an accident or say "just five more miles to the customer and I'll be there!"
The way I found works for me was to plan on driving no more then 10 hours a day like under the old regs, that gives me a one hour cushion if needed, plus driving 11 hours added to the time spent on line four will eat your 70 up really fast!
