a digi tachograph records data for a period of 28 days on the driver card & 365 days for the vehicle unit.
the card should be down loaded prior to 28 days lapsing & the unit down loaded prior to 56 days lapsing.
It isn’t a defined period of time, it’s a certain amount of data it can hold.
Each time you change mode is a unit of data, so it depends how many mode changes are recorded as to how long it takes before it starts overwriting old data. In many cases that can be longer than six months.
I think errors are stored separately to activity data, so errors could be stored for the life of the cars.
The 28 day rule is how long you are required to provide records to the company within (whether downloading or handing in charts).

and most of the posters will still be convinced that they are right.
I’ve got to agree with you. The info I posted is from the literature that I was given just a few months ago from the last cpc course I was on, of which I already knew. so I will always follow the literature that I have read and not follow DC wibble.

If you’re saying that the card data only stays on a driver card for 28 days perhaps you should stop listening to anyone and do a simple test
Next time you have your card in a tachograph go through the menu until you get to the part where you can display the card data for a particular date, then see how far you can turn the date back to see the record for the oldest day.
You’ll find that you can see the records from several months ago, obviously that’s assuming the card has been used for several months.
No offence intended, but who the [zb] argues on the basis of what they’ve been told on a DCPC course

Now take your card out and check the vehicle data and it will give you all the info for the last year. All the data that is stored on your card is overwritten after 28 working days.
dozy:
Had a nightmare Friday night, we’ll all week ,pushed to limit and cards a shambles , how soon does it get overwritten .ta
Dozy mate , it does not matter a ■■■■ if it’s 5 minutes or 5 months, that is a consequense of the problem not the root
Why allow them to push you to that extent ffs.
Is it worth getting a heavy fine at best or even jail at worst because of some office knob that takes the ■■■■.
You know the situation with driver’s hours regs today, you can’t ■■■■ without having to make a manual entry, cause an infringment or such bull ■■■■ of the like.
Man up ffs, and sort the job out

No-ones disagreeing that the VU holds at-least 365 days of data but that’s not the same as the card data, if you put your card in a vehicle it’s never been in before you will be able to see records for months back and each record will show the date and the drivers name and driver number that’s on your card.
Try what I suggested and see how far back you can read from the card, never mind about what you can read that’s stored in the VU just read from the card.
On a Siemens tachograph go
Press “OK” (The menu is displayed)
Press the down button until “Display Drive 1” is displayed to get with the card symbol.
Press “OK” (The display shows “24h day” together with the card symbol)
Press “OK” (The date flashes)
Use the arrow keys to change the date to the earliest date available
Press “OK” and the data for the day can be scrolled through
To display the VU data do as above except at part 2 use the arrows to scroll down to “Dispslay Vehicle” and the vehicle symbol will be displayed.

You’re presuming this happened because they pushed him and not because our Dozy mis read the big hand and the small hand all week

Sorry Lizard., I wasn’t agreeing that you were right, but you have proved the point I made
I didn’t use my card for around 2 years when I retired but out of curiosity put it in a friends truck and the info was still there from my last days work (made me feel tired too !)

Just giving him the benefit of the doubt mate, he said he had been pushed so I tried to give him some advice to save him from himself .
Maybe I’m feeling guilty for giving him stick in the past…even if he does ask for it most of the time.
I think it was meant to hold 28 days for the average driver when they first started. Memory is now a lot cheaper. What you paid for a Mb 10 years ago now gets you a GB or more so I would think the cards now hold a lot more.
