T O bluihslt

If you got the subtraction wrong then technically that would be an infringement !!

Either subtract correctly or not bother - both are ok

No, never was a legal requirement and haven’t heard it had changed either (so far)

I never fill in the total mileage.

Don’t tell me, your company say it is ? :unamused:

I think Geebee45 answered this very question some months back, and iirc even the incorrect subtraction would be treated as a mistake.

The chart has a centre field which asks for;

Full Name (in any order, surname, forenames, forenames, surnames. matters not)
Start Place
Finish Place
Start Date
Finish Date
Registration Number
Finish Kilometre
Start Kilometre
Total (Optional)

Yup, i had it on paper from one firm that it is now ileagal not to put in your total milage and ive had to sign infringments for getting it wrong
I always left it blank before

Centrefield entries

A driver is required to enter the following information on the centrefield of a tachograph chart that he is using to record his activities:

surname and first name (the law does not stipulate which order the names are put — but your employer may have a policy on this);

the date and place where the use of the record sheet begins and ends. The year may be written in full or abbreviated — so both ‘2007’ and ‘07’ are acceptable. If the start and finish places are the same, both must be written on the chart — ditto marks are not acceptable;

the registration numbers(s) of vehicle(s) driven (which should be entered before departing on a new vehicle);

the time at which any change of vehicle takes place; and

the odometer readings:

at the start of the first journey;

at the end of the last journey; and

at the time of any change of vehicle, recording the readings from both vehicles.
Note that the ‘total kms’ field does not have to be completed.
