That's because day 1 no longer counts against the 70 hour limit (you are only required to count the current day and the previous 7 days for 8 days total). Since the driver had -5 hours available and 10 hours fell off the calculation, the driver had a total of 5 hours available on the 70 hour limit.
How many countries are there in the world? Since South Sudan became an independent state on 9 July 2011, there are now 195 independent sovereign nations in the world (including disputed but defacto independent Taiwan), plus about 60 dependent areas, and five disputed territories, like Kosovo.
