DDifficulty 3/5

With a digital tachograph and driver card, which periods must be entered manually when being away from the vehicle prevented recording them on the device?

Correct answer

Unrecorded periods of other work, availability, breaks and rest.

The corresponding periods of other work, availability, breaks and rest, using the manual-entry function, under Article 34.3 of Regulation (EU) 165/2014. Not everything is automatically recorded, and a name or odometer reading alone is insufficient. Other entries may also be required depending on the equipment and rules; smart-tachograph automation does not remove the duty to complete unrecorded activity.
