Travelling time
Where a vehicle coming within the scope of the EU rules is neither at the driver's home nor at the employer's operational centre where the driver is normally based, but is at a separate location, time spent travelling to or from that location to take charge of the vehicle may not be counted as a rest or break, unless the driver is in a ferry or train and has access to a bunk or couchette.
I think it's this that prevents a driver from being able to be transported from the vehicle once his 15-hour day has been reached.

In the case posed by the OP the driver is not going... to take charge of the vehicle... he's going home. Wouldn't that make a difference?
