What is the purpose of the driver’s card?

The device shown in the image is a digital tachograph. Its primary function is to record driving times, rest periods, and speed of the vehicle. This data is essential for ensuring compliance with regulations concerning driving hours and rest periods for professional drivers in the EU.

The driver’s card, used with the tachograph, serves as proof of time spent driving, rest breaks, and overall adherence to legal requirements. It helps prevent driver fatigue and encourages safe driving practices. Accurate recording is crucial for road safety and to avoid penalties for violations of driving time regulations.
