If I drive For 4hrs and take a 45 break then 4hrs and 15 mins and take another 45 that's 8 hours 15mins of driving. But need to run back to the yard after the 2nd break am I right in saying I have 1 HR 45 mins left to get back to the yard ?????
4 hours and 4 hours 15 minutes is 8 hours 15 minutes. So yes you have 1 hour 45 minutes as you can extend your driving by an hour twice in any one week to a maximum of 20 hours.

Breaks and Rest period are defined differently under the EC Drivers Hours rules and the difference is crucial.
Please explain new rules for drivers weekly rest and moving on and off a ferry and private use of truck

can an employer tell a hgv driver when to have a break ?
I don't understand the question?
You can not break WORKING TIME DIRECTIVE or Tachograph rules.
