In ref to it being correct if a driver has to vacate his vehicle and withdraw his card on return to the depot for it to be shunted and speedily reloaded for the next shift, if the driver was forced to take his second break in the canteen would that be acceptable to be written against his infringement letter?Would he need to do a manual entry or a printout explaining his lack of recorded break
If for any reason a driver needs to eject the driver card before the end of the shift a manual entry covering the time the card was out of the tachograph should be done the next time the card is inserted into a digital tachograph.
Be aware that WTD breaks must interrupt the working time therefore a break at the immediate start of end of the shift will not count for the WTD.
A break at the end of the shift must show at-least a minute of other work or driving after the break for the break to count.
