Tacho Question

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)

HI all

Newbie question and clarification… when the clocks go forward by later this month do all entries have to be in UTC…or have they changed this at all

So If I was to start work 8am BST, you actually would enter into the tacho start time is 7am UTC… then at the end of the day you finish at 6pm but the input would be 5pm end of shift…

The tacho always records in UTC regardless of it being BST. The 1.4 tachos will let you do manual entries using BST. The older versions are all UTC so you have to manually adjust the extra hour.

That’s correct yes, it will seem odd to start with but youll get the hang of it really quickly.

Don’t forget that regulations regarding rest hours etc. work on UTC regardless of any hours “lost” or “gained” through daylight saving.
