The regulations governing driver’s hours and tachograph rules are complex, open to change and therefore could be misinterpreted. Regrettably the E.C.drivers hours and tachograph
rules are not a compulsory part of driver training
courses. During 20 years of analysing tachograph charts it is not uncommon for transport managers to express their frustration at the inability of Agency drivers to correctly complete the centre field of a tachograph chart.. Ex military drivers who have little or no training in the use of tachographs are vunerable to prosecution by the enforcement authorities. Chartwise U.K. Offers Certificated Driver Training Courses. A certificate is being increasingly asked for by companies hiring drivers and by Department Inspectors visiting haulage company offices. The course will cover:- 1. The Analogue Tachograph 2. Centrefield requirements 3. Handwritten Entries 4. The Hours Rule 3820/85 5. Employers responsibilities 6. Drivers responsibilities 7. The Digital Tachograph- all manufacturers 8.
