Missing driver card or tachograph records

The allegation may concern a missing card, another person’s card or missing activity for specific days. Identify the dates highlighted by the inspector.

What to check in your case

Compare card and vehicle memory. Mark vehicle changes, work outside the vehicle and manual entries. If the card was lost, stolen or defective, a report, replacement request and printouts from that time help establish events.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Card and vehicle-unit extracts for the days in question
  • Signed printouts, replacement application or incident report
