Tachograph & driving times — (EU) 165/2014 and (EC) 561/2006
What is it?
Two linked EU regulations: 165/2014 mandates the digital tachograph and personal driver card recording all driving; 561/2006 sets maximum driving times (9–10 h/day) and minimum rests. Violations mean heavy fines for the employer too.
What evidence should a candidate have?
Valid driver card, and a clean record — ask about past infringements; experienced drivers manage their times without dispatcher babysitting.
Why it matters for staffing
Fleet clients are liable for drivers' violations, so a driver who provably masters driving-time rules is a lower-risk, higher-value placement.
