DDifficulty 3/5

A bus operates exclusively a regular passenger service whose complete route is 40 km long. Is that service subject to mandatory tachograph use under Regulations 561/2006 and 165/2014?

Correct answer

No, that regular service with a route not exceeding 50 km is excluded.

No. That regular service is excluded because its route does not exceed 50 km. The relevant measure is the service route, not merely the distance of a segment driven. This exemption does not automatically extend to occasional services or other activities within scope. When exempt and in-scope services are mixed, the applicable recording duties must be met. It does not release the driver from all national working-time and rest rules.
