Tacho card renewal

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

My current card expires in April mid week. I had the renewal letter in Jan and have the new card… so have the card 2 months before expiry! Work tell me to use old card until the day of expiry. But as a tramper I am paid on tacho card recorded hours. So in the expiry week at the end of the week I presume I put both cards in the reader. Please advise if this is the case.

I thought I should start using the new card at the beginning of the expiry week so not to confuse things. The last time I had a new card I was doing day work so didn’t have this situation. [One keeps old card for 28+ days I gather in case one is stopped by DVSA and have to provide the data for inspection].

Ok many thanks for the reply. I just guessed one downloads both but not sure.

Noremac:
You use the existing card right up until midnight on the day it runs out.

…so if it expires August 15, it’s OK to use it until Aug 15 @ 2359 UTC? Need to be aware the tachograph is UTC and NOT local time.

For the UK that would mean you could use it until Aug 16 @ 0059 LOCAL TIME?
