Cheers for the replies lads its a 18:00 start for me then as I had a reduced rest period last weekNo it isn’t. Your tachograph runs on UTC. This ignores BST.
Not if its an analogue, but I would bet my bottom dollar that you couldn’t be done for the clocks going back, you would still have had the required hours.
The clocks go forward tonight so you would come up an hour short of 45.
Yeah alright I’m just a thick old drive.

I would guess thats why Digi tachos run on UTC, as well as if you change time zones in a shift.
Even with analogue the time stays on country of registration regardless of the time zone. If you begin a rest in one time zone and end in another, using a ferry or train, you still need 9 or 11 hours actual rest and not just the difference between the two local times. That’s the exact same scenario as the clocks changing tonight.
I’ve taken my card out to change the time monday morning, I haven’t a problem with rest time because I finished at 1530 on Friday & won’t be putting the card in until 0715 on monday but my question is, could I have changed the time with the digi card in the head without causing problems?

Yes, you are only changing the local time displayed on the digi and you can do that whenever you want, even several times during a shift if you wished. The time recording the data stays on UTC all year round.

Or GMT as we Euro-phobes insist on calling UTC. 
HOW long have you had a digicard? 
If you have to have 45 hours off then changing the ■■■■■ still means you need to take the same 45 off so in terms of the clock you start one hour later, IE … 17.00 becomes 18.00 etc.
There’s nothing slse to say.

So, in the US where you’ve got multiple time zones, you still have to have the same number of hours off when crossing time zones??
