I did a CPC course today I was advised I should be doing manual entry every time I put my card In I work mon - fri days I just put my card in without putting a manual details so I really have to account for my weekend off

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

Hi, if the tacho had the function that asks if the time that you spent between taking your card out and putting it back in is rest then you would just confirm it this way. If not then yes you are required to show a manual entry to record rest over a weekend. It is no longer "assumed" that this time is rest in the eyes of the DVSA.

@@enterprisetransporttraining great thanks for that 👍

The card was withdrawn on the 07/11/2020 , however when it askes "when shift is beginning" @ 5:33 it's still on yesterdays date 07/11/2020 ? and wont let you change it, I have downloaded the App and it's the same on that.

[@SirStouk]

Don't forget you will have to force the simulator to run the clock to 'tomorrow'.
So if you set 'time speed' to max and leave it for 5-15 mins you should get it to show you another date. Just make sure you ejected the virtual card first or you'll be sitting there another few minuets.

Cheers Dan!

I have a question, i have not been using my tachograph for about 2 years, because i changed jobs, i am now going back to driving, once i have renewed my card this month. My qstn is, once i getbmy new card and put it in, what will it show? The last time i pulled it out? What should i enter upon inserting the new card? I will ask them, but easier to ask anonymously here :)

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

Your new card will hold no record of your previous so will be brand new and start fresh. Only thing you will need to consider when inserting it for the first time is doing a manual entry to record the time you started your shift to the time you put your card in. The video explains how to do this :)

Should I do a printout in UTC?

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

Ultimately what you want to do when it comes to your records is have consistency. If your tachograph gives you the option of doing a print out in local time or UTC it would be suggested that if you were staying within this country then you would do so in local time to keep consistent with your start / end times etc and if you were doing European work then you may want to use UTC as this again, keeps consistency with timings.

Do you have to download it on a pc or can it be done on a iPad

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

Hi. I believe this can be used on an Ipad.

How does the simulator work it wouldn't work on my android tablet

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

Hi, Sorry for the late reply.
I am not sure if it is compatible with tablets. It may be a PC only file.

[@Zeem01]

You confirmed what you did at the end of your shift and for how long you did it for, also confirmed what you did at the beginning of your next shift and how long for. Where did you confirm your rest period?

[@enterprisetransporttraining]

This particular tachograph will work on the assumption that any period between those two recorded times is deemed as rest.

[@Zeem01]

@@enterprisetransporttraining ok that’s fine, however when you do a 24hr print out it shows the rest period as ?
I thought VOSA don’t want to see question marks on printouts?
