Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. ‘other work’.
Explanation
The question is about the position of the tachograph switch while you are supervising the unloading of your vehicle. You set the switch to "other work" - answer A.
The EU Regulation on tachographs requires the driver to record separately driving time, other work, periods of availability, and breaks and rest. Supervising unloading is an activity done for the employer, so the Polish Drivers' Working Time Act counts it as working time - on the tachograph it corresponds to the symbol of crossed hammers, that is, "other work". A period of availability (answer B) is time when you do not do any work but remain available, for example when accompanying the vehicle on a ferry. A break (answer C) is time only for yourself, and you must not work during it, so recording unloading as a break is a false record of working time, which will come out during a check.
Legal basis: Art. 34 para. 5 of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014; Art. 6 para. 1 of the Drivers' Working Time Act
