Tacko question.

Does he realise you’ve been driving? Some gaffers can be oblivious to what’s actually going on.

I’m guessing you’ve got your DQC? It’s not uncommon amongst mechanics

If you don’t have your DQC and he doesn’t know you’ve been driving, I’d keep stumm about it as it’s illegal (but too late to worry about it now :smiley: )

If you’re all legal, then just reminding him about it is (I reckon) enough to be seen as you fulfilling your requirements to “present your card for downloading”, the rest is on him.
