Been on digi for 5 years.Was asked what is the maximum time allowed to hand in tacho cards?Cannot remember.
Come to that what is the maximum time allowed before you have to have digi card downloaded?(mine is done nearly every week - within a day or so.
Tacho cards should be downloaded every 28 days or thereabouts.
This has been discussed on TN before, often leading to the question of how long does data stay on the card.
This also came up in our office a few days back, so today I checked, and my earliest entry was May (15th) this year, so 5 and half months of data !
Thanks to whichever TN member advised how to do this, can’t remember who it was, but it’ll help win the next argument on the subject.
You need to carry current day & previous 28 calender days with you, anything prior to that should be handed in on a weekly basis.
If your now driving on a disc, dont forget you must stil carry you digicard with you at all times.
Yep,know all that.Want to know maximum legal allowed time.
42 days.

err Harry is correct. The OP said or asked how long he has before handing over cards / download… 42 days and you should hand in cards etc … 28 days + the current working week is what you must have with you …
As to how long data stays on your card depends on the type of work your doing as the Digi card holds info in bites… my last car had 3yrs worth of info on it .
Thanks Harry and nick for the definitive answer. Good to know someone can read a question rather than put their own perspective on it.

i know which bit you’re looking at, but the legal position is past 28 working days, it can be interpreted in both ways, but case law made a precedent some time back.
