Dave drives a vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph. He has lost his driver card and reported it to DVLA. What must he do at the start of each duty?

Explanation: • Complete an analogue chart and make manual entries on it: No, he must take a print out and write certain information on it.
• Take a print out and make a manual entry on the reverse side: No, he must take a print out but he will use the mode switch to record his activity.
• Set his tachograph to "out of scope": No, this feature is only used when the vehicle is off the public road for the entire duty.
• Take a print out and write his name and driver number on it: Yes, and he will then need to use the mode switch as he would do normally and take a second print out at the end of the day.
