Check driving and rest time before it checks you
A quick tachograph check flags driving and rest time risks under EU rule 561/2006 before they become a problem.
Keeping every driver within EU driving and rest time limits is hard to track by memory or spreadsheet, especially across a full week or two. The tachograph check in your fleet section does that watching for you, comparing actual driving hours against the limits set out in EU regulation 561/2006.
Open /fleet/tachograph and the system reviews each driver's recorded hours against the rules: nine hours of driving a day, extendable to ten twice a week, a cap of 56 hours in a single week, and no more than 90 hours across any two consecutive weeks. Anything that looks close to breaching those limits is flagged so you can see it at a glance.
This is not an automatic filing or reporting tool. It is advisory: it points out where a driver's hours look like they are heading toward a breach, or already have, so that you or your compliance team can look into it and decide what to do next.
Because the check runs against the same limits used in roadside inspections, you can use it as an early warning rather than a surprise. Rather than discovering a problem when an inspector pulls a driver over, or when a customer audit turns up a gap, you get the flag inside /fleet/tachograph while there is still time to plan around it.
That is the real value: catching a driver drifting toward ten hours of driving on a day that should have stayed at nine, or a week creeping toward the 56-hour ceiling, while it is still just a number on a screen and not a fine, a grounded vehicle, or a difficult conversation with a client.
