Which data can the police access on the control card?

The control card, also known as the driver card, records all driving-related data, such as driving times, rest periods, breaks, and other activities related to the driver's work. In Germany, the police have the right to access all the data recorded on this card during checks to ensure compliance with driving and rest time regulations.

This means they can review the complete history to verify if a driver is following the legal requirements for hours on the road and mandatory breaks. The card does not only show data about the load or just information registered at the Federal Motor Vehicle Office, but all detailed recorded activities. This broad access helps enforce road safety and prevent driver fatigue.
