If your vehicle is moved during a scheduled break, what should you do with the tachograph chart?

• A. Remove the chart and manually record the break period
• B. Switch to rest mode to record the break
• C. Put in a new chart on your return
• D. Leave the chart in the vehicle and record changes on the back

Answer: (A)

When you’re on a scheduled break, the tachograph should show that you’re resting, not driving. If the vehicle is moved during that break, the chart could start recording activity incorrectly. To keep the records accurate, you take the chart out and note the break manually. This way the official record reflects the rest period you took, even though the vehicle moved. On return, you’d insert a fresh chart and continue recording.
