Wouldn’t it be ‘safer’ to lose your card every so often. A new card is only £17 and gives you a ‘clean slate’ and could be handy if you ‘may’ have committed an ‘offense’.Except that the tacho head also retains the information and downloads it so there is no such thing as a clean slate unless you can be sure that the tacho head which can store many many months of data never gets downloaded.
You are of course correct and it would certainly be a worry if you owned the vehicle or it was your designated vehicle. However with most big “logistics providers” a driver would probably not drive the same vehicle more than twice in any month, so the chances of getting your collar felt whilst in the “offending vehicle” are slim to nothing.
