What do you have to submit when applying for a driver’s card?

The image depicts a tachograph, which is a device used in commercial vehicles to record driving time, speed, and distance. It ensures compliance with regulations regarding working hours and rest periods for drivers, particularly in the context of road transport.

In Germany, the use of tachographs is mandated for specific vehicle categories, particularly trucks and buses, to monitor and manage driver activity, preventing fatigue and promoting road safety. Drivers must operate the tachograph correctly to ensure accurate data is recorded, which can be inspected by authorities.

Additionally, it is important for drivers to familiarize themselves with the functions of the tachograph, how to input data (such as rest periods), and how to interpret the recorded information. This is vital for adherence to legal requirements and maintaining effective operations within transport services.
