Bank card v digi card?

i once got a punctre on the a14 whilst driving for royal mail, was told the fitters would be at least 2 hours so i jacked it up myself and got all the big elastic bands i could find and made myself a new tyre worked a treat!

If you drive past a vosa check point with your hands over your eyes you can’t see them and therefore they can’t see you :smiley:

one drivers talk me if you put you digi card in Microwaves and swith on for 30 second in high level,all info from digi will be deleted.i don t try,but thi person said -it is exacly

I was told that if you put a microwave chicken tikka masala into your tachograph, it will cook it in 30 seconds and put a poppadom on the top on the way out of the slot.

You should have warned him that the new digital tachos are part of a secret plan to bring in road pricing and your bank card goes in slot 2 to pay the tolls. But if you do it before the scheme starts its not set up and just charges your card a quid a klick.

A guy told me today he rang ulster bank /rbs bank complaining why his mobile phone bill wasn’t paid as he had been cut of while in France and could not use his phone they asked was he a truck driver and if so he could put his sim card in the digi slot and he could phone home for free forever .and I tried last week and it works .

Apparently the chips in same place as digi card and just keeps tacho on break, works a treat he claims.

Just because the chip is in the right place doesn’t mean it will accept it does it? I have a few blank security cards that I have tried in the past and not worked. But likewise I do have the security software to read the ID from the Digi Card as well as from Bank Cards and they are not the same, for obvious reasons!

The tacho head would just reject the card.

What he could have done though was eject the card and pop it into the 2nd man slot without anything in the first slot :smiley: Or just popped his card out altogether.

The only other issue I can see with using the bank card is if the tacho head tries to write to the chip and corrupts the card, but I’ve not tried duplicating the card IDs yet…

I’ve got a spare card here so I might fire up the hardware again and give it a try… :smiley:

omg that makes me old … me mum used to send me to CO-OP and insisted i got the stamps…

I used my Nectar Reward card in the digi tacho by mistake once, and I havent paid for my weekly shopping in Sainsburys since; honest it’s true, ask your mate, he’ll confirm it…

I use my nectar card every 3rd day ,
I get double bonus points and a free christmas hamper :grimacing:

No surprise kids these days don’t get the “joke” that ends “Treble stamps on 3 galleons”:- flickr.com/photos/johngulliver/6560717795/

My mate told me to put a sky card into slot 2…i tried it and got all the movie channels for free.

Harry…green shield stamps eh !..i bet you`ve still got some of that fake money the R.A.C.S. ( co-op ) used to give you for your divi…i can just see some of the drivers on here pulling faces…

this has to be one of the funniest topics ever posted , harry , you’re a legend :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Harry Monk:

wonder if anybody ever got the car that used to be in the catalog

Tried my Sky viewing card and ended up watching The Simpsons on the tacho head. Customer service rang me up tho for insufficient viewing breaks

Lol Green shield stamps thats a blast from the past, so are the little grey plastic shields with coats of arms on when you went to a Heron garage when petrol was 75p a gallon :smiley:

God…theres some real gullible ppl on this forum…lol :grimacing:

Its like going into a roadside cafe and being the target of Captain BS… been there, done that… and yes using a magnet can interrupt and analogue tacho but not a digi one… and I wouldn’t try it cos DVSA will hang you out to dry

Don’t forget when you put your bank card in you have to run around the truck 3 times anticlockwise

Sorry to make this serious… I tried it just to prove a point that it wouldn’t work… And here it is

I need to check my balance, will report back if my overdraft has vanished :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you get charged for taking it out?.

It didn’t get stuck fortunately (Don’t try this at home kids…)… It did turn the truck upside down :smiley:
