As of last May 2006 drivers are required to carry Tachographs for the current week, starting midnight Sunday PLUS 15 calendar days worth before that which equates to about 2 weeks of charts.

The regulations will change again on 1st Jan 2008 whereby it will be 1 day PLUS 28 days (probably calendar) before that to bring it into line with what the new digital tachos will provide.

All new vehicle will require digital tacho’s soon so companies need to be organising driver training NOW. Even if their fleet is old and they hire a new vehicle for the day they will have to know what to do.
Obviously related to breakdown cover trucks, as well as other vehicles.
