When I say “Chart” I mean your Digi Tach record for the day as hardly anyone uses wax charts anymore. You’re obviously far too confrontational to have a rational debate with as you seem much to eager to call people fools or say that they are stupid just because they don’t agree with you.
You’re taking my general points when applied to large fleets & what’s best practice in the “real world” about which tacho mode is best to default to and trying to shoe horn it in to your own little situation just so you can have your opportunity to spout diatribe at people. My primary comments weren’t aimed at you at all. I appreciate for you, having the tacho default to rest is easier in your personal situation & quite legal. As you’ve already said you don’t have to remember to set the tacho to rest mode when you are taking your break although leaving the engine on and having to select other work every time you are doing other work seems a bit of a faff.
The vast majority of tacho’s are set to default to other work for a good reason, the only reason you’d change you’re tachos to default to rest is that you don’t trust your drivers to select rest mode when they are on rest.
You’d basically rather have incorrect use of mode switch on your prosecution list from VOSA when drivers are showing break rather than other work than a huge raft of insufficient break for driving time infringements, this is fact, I know DHL set some of their digi tach’s to default to rest when they first came out as drivers were forgetting to select rest & they were getting huge infringement sheets. I doubt VOSA would even bother prosecuting for charts that default to rest when obviously the driver is doing other work.
Anyway, i’ll leave your next, “you’re stupid, you don’t know what you’re talking about, do you even know what a tahco is” reply unanswered as you’re boring me now.

You obviously don’t know what your on about, when I first asked you to explain why it’s not a good idea to default to break, your reason was because you thought the tacho would record rest every time you stopped, like an analogue tacho does, and then when it was pointed out it doesn’t work like that on digitachos, your reply was, oh well I wouldn’t want them to default to break anyway, with out a plausible reason!
You abviously do know what a tacho is, but not how the “new” ones work!
So, I’ll ask again, what plausible reason would you have to not want a tacho to default to break? And using your excuse, so muppets don’t rack up infringements, isn’t a plausible reason!
If you can do that, I will give you a plausible reason why having it defaulting to break is a good idea.
