Do you have to use your tacho card when on a driving assessment for a company. One assessment I am getting paid, the other I am not. Is there a difference? I am currently not working, if that helps.

Yes to need to use a card even for an assessment. Most companies would not even consider an assessment without a card being inserted.

Many thanks
I think most companies would want it due to covering off any missing mileage on their vehicles, but also if you was unfortunately tugged by our friends in the ‘Black and Yellow’ fun bus you’d be covered too[emoji106]

Deffo on the missing mileage issue.
And they might very well want to see that you know where to put it (oo-er missus!) and that you know which way is up for the card (chip side up, and insert the end where the chip is nearest the edge). Might even want to see you do a print out or even a manual entry (plenty of cheat sheets available online for MEs).
Basically, the whole of the process is assessing you on all manner of things, the bigger the company (eg your DHL’s or XPO’s etc) the more every little thing will be scrutinised. Stuff you might not even think of in advance, like your walkaround checks, conduct on the road, awareness of Highway Code - especially the new rules on VRUs
Yes, it’s the law, unless the job you are applying for is a voluntary position, not commercial.
