Thanks for that Simon, you could obviously see where I was coming from with my concern, the only thing I can assume may be an issue is the fact that I will very rarely use my card ie, never on the bins but now and again for the gritters through the bad weather period. This, as I understand it means it will take a lot longer for the info on the card to get full, then start overwriting itself, I assume with not many entries on the card, the actual information that can be seen at a glance would go back possibly a few years if I hardly ever use it? Having said all that, even if a couple of years down the line I did get a tug , and I had actually put the āflagsā on previously suggesting Out of Scope driving, a Vosa officer may or may not take that at face value anyway and do some digging regardless. My problem is I tend to look too deeply into some things, everywhere you look nowadays are people trying to take your money,fines for this and fines for that, I could just imagine getting fined for not programming the tacho properly in the first place even if further investigation confirmed I did not have to follow EU regs! Ps, another one of my problems is waffling! 
It will take many years to overwrite info on your card, but it doesnāt matter how far back they can see āat a glanceā. They canāt ādoā you on the spot, for something that happened more than 28 days ago.
Whatever youāve been reading, VOSA, the Police, etc are NOT out to āDoā you for every little thing.
Oh yes they are, its a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy

And it will get easier when the new police commissioner realises he has to save another 75k from his budget just to pay his own wages 
Ha ha, yeah , probably not a truer word spoken.
