Digital tachograph up-date European legislation originally required the fitment of digital tachographs from 5 August 2004. However, due to delays resulting from technical complications this date has been moved forward to 1 January 2006. The law applies to new vehicles first put into service from this date. Existing vehicles will be allowed to continue using analogue tachographs under current legislation. Nor indeed, will there be any prosecutions for non-fitment of digital instruments prior to the revised mandatory fitment date. The long-awaited digital - ‘smart card’ - tachograph regulation 1360/2002/EC - amending regulation 3821/85/EEC - and its technical Annex 1B were published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (the OJ) on 5 August 2002. This date signalled the start of an official 24-month count down to the date by which such instruments had to be fitted and used in relevant vehicles (ie originally 5 August 2004, but now 1 January 2006. Thus from this date, the following vehicles will be required
to be fitted with digital tachographs: Vehicle manufacturers are installing these instruments in new vehicles prior to the ‘due’ date and driver ‘smart cards’ are available now from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to allow for driver training and familiarisation. Driver Smart Cards cost £38 each.
