Surly though, if its an infringement it should flag up on analysis!
When I do a print out it shows I am in the UK.
Itâs probably one of those trumped up offences VOSA like to make up.
As far as I know itâs been a requirement since Digi tachos were introduced. so Iâd say thatâs more of a problem with your analysis software or company than VOSA.
From the document Rules on Driversâ Hours and Tachographs.
record the country in which they begin and end their daily work period. This must always be carried
out at the time of the start or end of the period, even if the card is not to be withdrawn or inserted (for
example if the card is left in overnight);
And looking at the enforcement policy youâd probably only get a Verbal Warning, if you have enough savvy to convince them you didnât know, but of course if you donât pass the attitude test than they can fine you.

Point taken, so do you know wether this info would be on a print out, or is it just stored on the card?

I donât think itâs on the print out, but it must be on the card, Iâm sure Iâve seen it on a data download by some Digi Tacho Software.

I always do Start/End of day entries. Although itâs not worried about here, I bet it is in France or Belgium . Takes a second, no hassle really. I also leave the card in all week and come Monday morning, add an hour other work to end of shift Friday and to the start of the shift Monday morning for Kitting/De-Kitting.
VOSA love to see complete records and leaving your card in all the time is an excellent way of getting a complete record, as they can see what youâre not up to when the tacho is âoutâ, so to speak (I.E. not swapping trailers/driving to the chinky etc etc )
The problem with leaving it in is what do you do if you need to run get to maccy d

If you run to get a maccy d whilst you card is out, it will still be recorded on the head unit.
I donât know if youâd get away with it for a maccy d run Personally that fact you going to a Maccy D should mean they throw the book at you But if you did have to move a truck during you rest period, it would be far better to have the card in and then do a print out and write an explanation, than to run without a card.

when i was at TransAm, i would put the card in when i left the yard, and not take it out until i got back there again, usually away for 2-3 months a time. Coppers liked it that way as well if they checked you.
If you donât eject the card, what do you get when printing out the days duties to sign? I always eject & print, then enter the starting & end destinations (just like on the old discs) & sign it. That way you can enter all the appropriate details on your weekly envelope there & then rather than wait till the end of your working week.

why do a print out? there is no legal requirement to do one unless you are making up a nice storey of why you have gone over your time ect to write on the back

Thereâs nothing wrong with ejecting the card at the end of every shift, but wouldnât it be easier to write what information you need to remember in a notebook rather than wasting all that printing paper ?

+1. Why do print outs if there hasnât been a problem? All you are doing is creating a legal document that you need to carry for 28 days.
My truck is 18 months old and Iâve only done 3 print outs in all that time and only because Iâve run a minute or two over my four and a half 'cos of traffic etc.
Any information an official may require is held on the card, so youâre just wasting expensive paper.
As a matter of interest; would the tacho head record that a printout had been done?
Iâve always wondered if it matters what mode you have it on when you eject the card. If you eject it while on other work, does it assume youâre doing other work until you put it back in again? Maybe Iâm an idiot, but I always put it on break before ejecting.

On the version 1.4 and 2.0 VU our lot say to pop it on break before you get out in case you â â â â up the manual entry the next day. The amount of our drivers who have cocked up this simple task and told the tacho they have worked through the night is scary.
I spent the summer this year doing nights out and used to leave my card in.
After that job finished I went back on agency work, first shift in forgot to take my card out and didnât realise until I got up next day. 12 hours of other work oops!

before you drive any vehicle fitted with a digi, and especially if it says " 28, driving without card " press down arrow to driver 1 entry and press it twice to cancel it off and begin country uk! That stores on the HEAD! then insert your card and then do your manuals ( if youâve got to! ) other work ten , fifteen minutes for vostapos vehicle checks, then crack on to Macon! Itâs not hard! park up, select bed then scroll arrows down to driver 1 or END PLACE! select country and have hours off! then drink, shag the locals and do whatever to dispose freely of YOUR time off!

That main reason i take mine out every night/weekend
Recording your start / end country is required, not just for your location, but because it puts a âtime stampâ on your record that signifies the actual start / end time of your duty.
Personally that fact you going to a Maccy D should mean they throw the book at you 
But if you did have to move a truck during you rest period, it would be far better to have the card in and then do a print out and write an explanation, than to run without a card.
