Omg
DVSA no longer say recording your rest period under ? Is acceptable, that is the change and you must record it under the bed symbol.
If you make a written record then the only legal option when you next put your card in is to record the time the written record covers is ? I don’t see how anyone remotely clued up wouldn’t see this as obvious.
You must have every minute allocated with an activity of either other work, driving, rest/break or poa. That record must be made via the tacho when you card is in, or when when you card is out manually entered on to you card via the tacho, written on to printout paper or a wax chart, or GB domestic logbook if you’ve been under that. Or under certain circumstances you can use a letter of attestation.
If you use any other way other than a manual entry for recording the time the card is out then you’re still going to have to record on the card what it is to record since it was last ejected, so it’s clear the only activity that fits is unallocated time as you have the record elsewhere made in a legal form.
How can you record rest? As you were not resting the entire time so it would create a false record.
How can you record poa? As you were not on poa and it would create a false record.
How can you record other work? As you were not on other work for the entire time so it would create a false record and it would throw up so many infringments then the tacho would be out of sync till you had a 45 minute break if a VDU, it’d carry on from the previous driving time, a stoneridge would say you’ve got no time available until you’ve had a weekly rest, the 4:30 count down would be on zero so you’d need to write down your times or do a printout to see what you’ve done.
They are your only other 3 options, clearly none of which it can be, if you say no to manual entry as you have your legally required records elsewhere in a legal format, then the tacho will record ? On the card for the time it was out.
Zac should know better, being a TM n’all but then he’s proved he’s clueless on on GB domestic / EU assessment thread and now taking what would seem to be his longest break off here with his tail between his legs, no doubt just looking as a guest!
