Not entirely true. Opting out of the maximum 48 hour week does not opt you out of other parts of the WTD - regulations on rest periods between shifts, breaks during the working day, time off during the working week, night shifts working etc apply to everyone whether they have opted out or not. Otherwise it would be leagl for employers to expect you to work 24/70
