CPC Howlers (again)

syramax:
Been on a cpc course today, as I understand it 3.5t van no tacho required. 3.5t van with a trailer attached, tacho needed.apparently it is now law that a 3.5t van with a hitch fitted (but no trailer)requires a tacho to be fitted and used ■■?anyone able to verify this ■■

Myth.

The vehicle only requires a tacho if it is used with a trailer that brings it within scope. Merely having a towing hitch fitted doesn’t bring it within scope - towing a trailer does.
