Ferry mode

mrginge:
I must be doing it wrong but the Tacho software at work flagged up an issue over this:

08:30 start. Max 3hr drive and breaks/other work
15:00 get to port and park in queue side of harbour, Select ferry mode and break.
20:00 drive onto boat 1min drive then stop, select ferry mode and break.
01:00 drive off boat for 30mins park in layby, select ferry mode put on break.
03:30 drive back to yard park up 06:30 break.

Im sure its something retarded on my behalf but oh well.

You’re selecting ferry mode at the wrong time which is why you’re getting infringements. The ferry mode is only to indicate you’re interrupting a rest period to board/disembark a ferry, so in your example it should be like this;

15.00 park in lanes at port and end shift/go onto break as normal.
20.00 select ferry mode, drive onto boat and tachograph back on break once boarded.
01.00 select ferry mode, disembark ferry and back on break once parked to complete daily rest.

Hope that helps.
