TIPS AND BEST USE OF YOUR TACHOGRAPHS
Time tips:
Make sure the time is correct for am or pm – both times are displayed identically on
an analogue tachograph’s 12-hour clock face. Analogue tachographs must continue to display
the correct time – which for the UK includes adjustments for British Summer Time.
Activity record:
Most analogue tachograph instruments in use are ‘automatic’. This means that
the instrument will automatically record activity as driving when the vehicle is moving and defaults
to the mode switch setting when the vehicle stops.
Driver cards:
Drivers who have been issued with a driver card are committing an offence if
they are unable to produce this during a roadside inspection, even if they only drive analogue
tachograph-equipped vehicles.
