Mixta:
I have been doing manual entries for the first 15mins or so start of work as other work, example my shift starts at 6am , i dont get in the vehicle til 6.15 so ive been doing manual entry for that 15minutes.
OK but you did say in an earlier post “from what I understand when I do go back into driving the tacho asks for manual entry, I should say no and it defaults to the ? symbol right?”, so I thought you didn’t want to do manual entries.
Mixta:
When you say write on printout paper for the days non driving work , what should i record on the paper? At the moment I have been filling in a logbook type booklet that shows start time , lunch , finish time and total hours.
According to the guide I’ve linked to in my previous post the DVSA will not accept records kept in a booklet unless you’re on UK domestic rules.
From the link I posted earlier.
For a fixed week in which EU-regulated driving takes place
For all 7 days of the fixed week, drivers must keep a full record of all periods of other work and availability.They must also keep records of:
driving
breaks and rest
periods of annual leave
periods of sick leave
So for none driving days that are in a fixed week in which you drive in-scope of EU regulations you should keep a record of:
Breaks and rest Periods including any holiday or sick leave.
You need to keep a record of your breaks so that your total working time can bee checked.
For weeks in which you do not drive in-scope of EU regulations you only need to keep a written record of work periods and weekly rest periods.
Again there are examples in the link I posted earlier.
For weeks that you do not drive you can use attestation forms but given that you need an attestation form for each period of work and each rest period you’re probably better off just writing it on printout paper.
