Digital and smart tachographs work by storing digital data on the driver and vehicle in their own memory and separately on a driver’s card.

As mentioned above, it is possible for drivers to set the display time on the VU to local BST, but this will not prevent the VU recording in UTC. Therefore, it is recommended that drivers leave the display time in UTC as a reminder of the difference. Manual records
