Lost Tacho Charts

Today through my own stupidity I lost my past 28 days Tacho charts, what should I do?

I have only been driving a 7.5 tonne for the past seven weeks and I think this is a lesson once learned, would VOSA take a sympathetic view or would they be hard on me and what would I be looking at if they throw the book at me? :frowning:

Youā€™d better keep your head down for the next four weeks because i donā€™t think theyā€™ll be too chuffed with you.
Look after those charts as if theyā€™re Ā£20 notes.

on a note how as your employer taken the news, as there need them for there records

They have asked me to give them a note for file stating the dates covered by the missing charts.

Sorry to appear un"sympathetic"

But the wording of the 1st line of your question,
gives me the impression that you have some idea when & were you ā€œlostā€ thenā€¦

If this is the case, go back and recover themā€¦ ( no matter what there present condition is )

If your unable to recover them:
unless they were distroyed in an recorded unfortunate event, such as a Truck/Car or House Fire etc.
to which the Traffic Comisioner might take lenient stance, honestly your in deep do-do.

I see that employer has already covered there backside:

Haggis:
They have asked me to give them a note for file stating the dates covered by the missing charts.

re ā€œwhat should I doā€ , well you could risk getting cault, or take 28days off

& most important, learn from this lesson,
and in the future care for these delicate (flimsy)fellows like there priceless treasures.

dont know if its any help, but there is a simular tread here

ā€œDigital tachograph rules, urgent help please.ā€

Ok, not Tacho Charts, as ā€œbig eckā€ had misplaced his Drivers-Card

This means that just like ā€œHaggisā€ & his Tacho-Charts

he too will be unable to produce the records it contained, when required.

hence, in regard to lossing the records, is worth reading :exclamation:

de 2xQ

In 1983, I managed to leave my tacho wallet complete with 21 days of cards in a phone box in Auxerre. The wallet had a notebook attached, and I had phoned the depot for instructions regarding a part load for the UK.
Arrived in Dover and got tugged by the ā€˜nuts&boltsā€™ and could not produce records. I got fined Ā£50 for failing to keep records.
All a mistake and not deliberateā€¦honest!

keep a bag of broken glass with you ready for passenger footwell and keep that window clean not your fault if someone broke your window and stole your bag :laughing:
