How often do you need to download data from a tachograph?
How does a digital tachograph work Digital tachographs work by digitally recording all data on the driver and vehicle in both its internal memory and also separately on the driver’s smart card. Information must be downloaded every 90 days from the digital tachograph; and every 28 days from the driver card.
What are the penalties for infringing drivers hours?
Infringing drivers with verifiable UK addresses are, in the most routine cases, dealt with by means of a fixed penalty, which can be considered by the driver for up to 28 days. Breaches of drivers’ hours rules will attract a level of fixed penalty fine that is graduated depending on the seriousness.
Like I have said stand you're ground and stick to the rules, driver pays the fines not the office staff...... LOL
