On the other hand the powers-that-be should have just written the regs so they all behaved in a similar way, then it’d be easier all round.
Correct me if I’m wrong but originally didn’t all digital tachograph stay on the same mode when the ignition was turned off, then because some drivers couldn’t remember to change the mode to rest when they parked up all new vehicles had tachographs that defaulted to rest, only after lots of complaints was it changed so companies could have them reprogrammed.
It’s not hard to get used to the way they are so there’s really no point in drivers blaming the digital tachograph for there own shortcomings, but the way digital tachographs have been brought into operation is in my humble opinion yet another example of EU incompetence
