Basic Driving hours (Tachograph) for Professional Drivers. 

Thank you so much

I was expecting to get that torch 🔦 to be switched on

Glad it helped

Thank you

Thankyou. That's wht I do it

Thank you

Glad you liked it

Thanks, I lighten up a little later lol.

Let me know if you need anything.

@@BusandTruckTraining Thankyou i will do 🙂

Thank you

me too, I worked for the UN for a long time and they are exempt from tachographs

@@un-nomad I work heavy recovery and the last time I used tacho was the frisbees lol moving onto powder tankers now 👍

@@chrispowellutube actually I do heavy recovery as well in the Sahara desert (Mali and Western Sahara). All military trained but civvy now

@@un-nomad sounds awesome! I got my license in the military driving aviation fuel tankers but civvy recovery in the UK

Thank you! Cheers!

Do not over study. It does not help and you will just get tired. The exam is very similar to the normal Theory test with the added technical info of trucks. Max height 4.65 m Max width 2.55 m Max overhang 300 mm Max width with overhang 2.9 m Max length 16.5 m 2 axle truck 18 tonnes 3 axle truck 26 tonnes 4 axle truck 32 tonnes My son passed last week.

@@BusandTruckTraining thank you for the tips, glad that your son passed. Before I studied I done a mock exam to see where I would need to study. I got 57% on my mock test. After 4 days of studying I done another mock test and was jumped to 91% pass mark. So I am definitely heading in the right direction. Just a few bits and bobs now that I'm still unfamiliar with. Thank you again for the heads up about the max weights and everything 😃

@@duncanmill2315 good luck

@@BusandTruckTraining its the weight and rest and time working time just cant get my head round it need to watch this again

Will do

@@dicesquaresuk How is taking a CPC course explaining it nasty?

Hi Gary, The fellow that left the Nasty comment is not rational. He has left me really nice comments ans Pschotic comments on the same day. I have reported and blocked him.

@@BusandTruckTraining Ah okay mate, thanks for the heads up. Take care matey

Thankyou

Thank you

Thank you

Thankyou

Thanks

Within the 24 hour period

it can be reduced but it depends on your hours and how many times you reduced rest in one week

You must take 11 hours within every 24 hour period. You may reduce your rest 3 times in any week 7 day period.

It's to enlighten you. Torch is also an RSA Rexommendation 🤪

You are very welcome

Yes. 6 hour rule

My Phil Mitchel East Enders impression lol

My pleasure!

@@BusandTruckTraining just passed my hazard an multiple choice questions. Partly owing to your videos

@@tomvarcoe3100 that's great. We'll done you. Best of luck to you

Defined in what regulations? Do you mean they are part of Tachograph legislation not working time directive?

@@BusandTruckTraining EC561/2006 only defines one type of week and that is the Fixed week in effect Monday to Sunday. The “Fixed week” governs anything to do with Driving time - 2 x weekly increases, 56 hour max and the 90 hour fortnight (2 fixed week rule). A max of 3 Daily rest reductions are allowed between any weekly rest periods - the 2 daily driving increases from 9 to 10 hours are bound to the Fixed Week and crucially NOT between Weekly Rest periods. For example a driver could take off Thursday and Friday and drive 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday (if he didn’t drive 10 hours MON TUE or WED that is) and as a new Fixed week starts on the Monday he could drive 10 hours on the Monday and Tuesday and then take off Wednesday and Thursday. He is allowed to do this (in effect 4 x 10 hour drives on the bounce) as each pair of the periods of 10 hour driving fall in different Fixed weeks and are not related at all to when the weekly rest was taken.

If I ever do an hour long video I will include everything. This is enough to get you through you day to day and CPC exams

Thankyou

Yes you are correct. However the sleeping facilities may be in your truck if you are allowed in your truck. It is hard to mention everything in a short video.

No. There is no requirement to be compensated for daily rest.

Yep

Thanks

I watched the whole thing. Great programme

how did you passed the test during lockdown?

@@wstretny I did my 1st lesson on the 19th December 2020 second lesson on Sunday 20th test on 21st we were not in lockdown then so just did it before it all locked down.

​@@Droneon2012 ah ok, thanks - I was wondering how ppl do that during lockdown, because I want to attend a hgv course, but the driving school is in a another town, and with this stupid tier 4 I can't leave my place :( just thought that there was some kind of a workaround of this ;)

@@wstretny lol yes i understand hopefully it will ease soon try getting in on a sat & sun more money but worth it .good luck with your driving pal.

Thank you

Sweeping the yard, Loading unloading, Paperwork, Taking breaks, washing vehicles, etc..

Yes You need to take a 15 minute break for WTD and 45 minutes to comply with Tachograph. 45 minutes is fine

To enlighten us with the knowledge

Shine a light on the subject...😂

Noooooooo

You only need to take a 45 if you are going to drive again. Go home!!

It is a Mag Light D6. Great for security it is heavy like an iron bar. You can buy an LED kit and convert it

@@BusandTruckTraining the driver trainer in my yard would be well impressed if I was doing my checks with that

Torch is N RSA Recommendation as well as High V8z and nite book and pen.

If you could like and subscribe that would really help. Thanks

Thanks

No, not that good.

All truck ans bus drivers should carry a torch.

Hi Martin, There is no maximum time as far as I am aware. You could take your 15 minute break after 3 hours and 14 minutes then do a minute driving and then take you 30 minute break. You could drive a minute and then take your 15 and then drive 3 hours and 14 minutes and take your 30 minute break and then drive for another 4.5 hours. There by driving 1 minute short of 9 hours with only a 30 minute break. This is a deep dive into tachograph lol

@@BusandTruckTraining thank you very much for getting back to me. 👍🏻

You can take it out or set it to rest.

You do jot need to compensate for daily rest. You do not need to pay it back

Tacho cards are valid for 5 tears

Does not need to reset. Your finr

Your fine 🙂

Hi Fred, sorry for the late response. The first thing I would do is try another card in the machine to determine whether the machine or the card is at fault. If it is the card which it probably is you can return it and have it replaced at no cost to yourself as it is faulty. If you are returning it in Ireland to the RSA you will have to pay €45 initially which the RSA will then refund. You may drive 3 weeks without a card if it is faulty but you must keep a manual entry write down everything you do with times and duration. Driving 4 hours, rest 45 minutes etc.. Let me know how you get on

Yes that is correct. That is why I made a note of it in the comments. This was my very first video.

@@BusandTruckTraining Thanks for the reply - not many people do when they are challenged - every credit. 👍

YES

Hi, Yes as I state in my comments that was a mistake. You do not need to get back reduced daily rest, Only reduced weekly rest. You are correct!

You can not drive for more than 4.5 hours without a 45 minute break. You cannot take an early break and then add the 2 hours onto your next driving session.

Clarify your question. I am not sure what you are asking me?

Firstly you should not have ran out of driving hours and that is a problem caused by your Transport Manager. You may not drive for more than 56 hours in a week or 90 in a two week period. What you do instead is between you and your employer. Working time directive says you may not work more than 48 hours per week when averaged out. How you deal with that is also between you and your employer

You break tachograph legislation !! If it is a one off and was unavoidable you would hope the police officer would let you go. If it shows on your card ir truck you do it every other week then you are in trouble.

Do you mean your Tacho is showing the wrong time ? Is it set to the correct country ? Should ask you when you turn it on. As long as you are driving within Tacho legislation breaks etc you should still be fine. Get your employer to get the Tachograph fixed.

Too enlighten you. It is also an RSA recommendation along with a notepad and pen and paper. Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄

Driving is driving everything else is Rest,Otherwork or Period of availability. You can drive 9 hours but your shift can be 15 hours. Look at basic driving hours and 6 hour rule videos

Yes there is no requirement to get back daily rest. Ir is in the notes did not want to redo the video lol. You can take a reduced 24 hour weekly rest in cab with a bunk. Because of recent temporary changes you can take as many reduced rests as you want in the cab and not have to be compensated. Thanks

Yes I state that in the notes no need to get back daily rest. You can only take a reduced rest in the vehicle if it has a bed or a cuchette.
