Under which of the symbols shown does the tachograph record intervals during work and daily rest periods?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. C.
Explanation
The drawing shows three tachograph symbols: A - a circle resembling a steering wheel, B - a square crossed by a diagonal line, C - the symbol of a bed seen from the side. Breaks from work and daily rest periods are recorded under symbol C - answer C.
The EU Regulation on tachographs requires the driver to operate the selector so that driving time, other work, periods of availability, and breaks and rest periods are recorded separately, and each of these activities has its own symbol. The bed means a break from work or rest. The symbol resembling a steering wheel (answer A) means driving, which the tachograph usually records by itself when the wheels are turning. The square with a diagonal line (answer B) means a period of availability, for example waiting for a ferry crossing. In addition there are crossed hammers - other work. Confusing the symbols falsifies the record of working time.
