Understanding Your Tachograph Card
A digital tachograph card is essential for professional drivers in many countries, including the UK. It records driving, resting, and working times, ensuring compliance with driver hours regulations.
- Renewal: Your digital tachograph card typically needs to be renewed every five years. It's advisable to apply for a renewal before your current card expires to ensure continuous legal operation.
- Replacement: If your card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a replacement promptly. You can usually continue to drive for a short period while waiting for your new card, provided you record your activities manually.
- Changing Cards: If you hold a tachograph card issued in an EU, EEA, or Northern Ireland country and need to switch to a Great Britain (GB) tachograph card, a different fee applies due to the administrative process involved in converting your existing details.
