An experienced driver at work told me I need to keep written record of hours worked and breaks taken, I thought this was only needed if i drive vehicle without tacho like van ?
He’s wrong and you’re right, all your work activities should be on your driver card or charts, the only written records you’re legally need to keep are any legally required manual entries written on printouts and records of days work when a tachograph or log book wasn’t used.
Some people choose to keep records in a notebook or diary for their own use, this can be particularly useful for agency drivers who work for different companies and may on occasions have a dispute with the agency or client about hours worked, but it’s not legally required.
