Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (Article 4(j)), driving time is the duration of the driving activity recorded automatically or semi-automatically by the tachograph (digital or analog) or, if that is not possible, entered manually on the record sheet or printout, for example if the control device breaks down or malfunctions. Defining it as the interval in which the driver interrupts driving to rest confuses driving time with the break or rest. Limiting it to the period entered by hand in any circumstances is false and incomplete, since manual recording is not the usual method but an exceptional measure reserved for breakdowns or contingency situations.
