A tachograph is used primarily in commercial vehicles to record driving time, speed, and distance traveled. It is essential for ensuring compliance with regulations governing drivers' working hours, promoting road safety, and preventing driver fatigue. Tachographs are mandatory for drivers of certain vehicles, such as trucks and buses, operating within the European Union and other regions with similar regulations. They help monitor and manage driver behavior and vehicle performance effectively.
No! You don't have to use a tachograph for private use - at least in EU member countries. You don't have to use them for commercial purposes if a cargo vehicle does not exceed 3,5 tonnes of total weight or a passenger vehicle (a bus or a coach) has less than 9 seats.
It depends on local legislation.
The actual outer tachograph fields are not necessary, but YOU MUST by law fill in the inside area with your name, date, start and finish journey points; also the start and end mileages
To use a HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) tachograph, first ensure that it's properly calibrated and installed in your vehicle. Before driving, insert your driver card to log your working hours, breaks, and driving time. During your journey, the tachograph automatically records your speed and distance, ensuring compliance with regulations. At the end of your shift, remove your driver card and download the data for record-keeping and analysis.
Yes, a tachograph is generally required when driving a horsebox if it falls under the category of commercial vehicles, typically those over 3.5 tonnes. This device records driving time, breaks, and speed to ensure compliance with driving regulations. However, if the horsebox is used for non-commercial purposes or is under the weight threshold, a tachograph may not be necessary. Always check local regulations for specific requirements.

The maximum time you can retain completed tachograph charts varies by jurisdiction. In the European Union, for example, it is required to keep these records for at least 12 months. Some regulations may allow for longer retention periods, but it’s essential to consult local laws for specific requirements. Always ensure compliance with the relevant regulations in your area.
You don't, that would be illegal. Your tacho in your vehicle prints onto a card, you put in clean cards before travelling and keep the old cards.
