EU Driver’s Hours and Tachographs

There has recently been a couple of incidents whereby drivers have operated a
vehicle ‘in-scope’ of EU Driver’s Hours without correctly using the Tachograph

Recording Equipment (Driving without a valid driver’s digital tachograph card).

This bulletin is to remind you, the driver, of your responsibilities towards the

Operator’s Licence Undertakings:

Keeping Proper and Accurate Records. You must:

 Record ALL of your day’s working duties, regardless of whether you are in control of a vehicle or not.
 Produce an unbroken 24/7 record for the current and, at least, the previous 28 calendar days, including all

daily and weekly rest periods.
 Record all periods of absence (sickness, holidays etc.) as ‘REST’. Furthermore, that record must be made in

one of the following ways:

 A manual entry on the digital tachograph machine.

 A manual record on a printout.
 Letter of Attestation.
