How To Operate A Digital Tachograph (Manual Entries) 

Thanks 👍

Thanks so much! Glad you found it useful :)

@@enterprisetransporttraining hi im starting a class one work on weekends only as i work in different sectors on the week days how can i record the other work for the week days please

You're welcome

Hi, if the tacho had the function that asks if the time that you spent between taking your card out and putting it back in is rest then you would just confirm it this way. If not then yes you are required to show a manual entry to record rest over a weekend. It is no longer "assumed" that this time is rest in the eyes of the DVSA.

@@enterprisetransporttraining great thanks for that 👍

Don't forget you will have to force the simulator to run the clock to 'tomorrow'. So if you set 'time speed' to max and leave it for 5-15 mins you should get it to show you another date. Just make sure you ejected the virtual card first or you'll be sitting there another few minuets.

Cheers Dan!

Your new card will hold no record of your previous so will be brand new and start fresh. Only thing you will need to consider when inserting it for the first time is doing a manual entry to record the time you started your shift to the time you put your card in. The video explains how to do this :)

Hi. I believe this can be used on an Ipad.

Ultimately what you want to do when it comes to your records is have consistency. If your tachograph gives you the option of doing a print out in local time or UTC it would be suggested that if you were staying within this country then you would do so in local time to keep consistent with your start / end times etc and if you were doing European work then you may want to use UTC as this again, keeps consistency with timings.

@@enterprisetransporttraining ok that’s great thank you for responding to me

This particular tachograph will work on the assumption that any period between those two recorded times is deemed as rest.

@@enterprisetransporttraining ok that’s fine, however when you do a 24hr print out it shows the rest period as ? I thought VOSA don’t want to see question marks on printouts?

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure if it is compatible with tablets. It may be a PC only file.

Hi John, The link is found in the description below the video on RU-vid.
