MANUAL ENTRIES

Hello folks, Can someone clarify for me please that when making a manual entry on an analogue tacho chart, are you required to sign/validate the information provided. The 3rd example shown on page 32 of the Rules on Driver’s Hours & Tachographs does show a signature, but I can’t find anything written to say it is necessary and when making a manual entry from a digital tacho unit you are required to sign it. Cheers :confused:

Hi. No requirement to sign the manual entry on analogue. But if it’s an explanation that you’re writing on the back to account for over-running etc then I always go for initials. You DO need to sign the manual entry on digital.

Hope this helps, Pete :smiley: :smiley:

To add to what Peter has said, some companies ask for manual entries on charts to be signed or initialled but that’s a company policy rather than a legal requirement.
