John has heard that he can set his digital tachograph to “out of scope”. When can he use this feature?

Explanation: • Not at all, it is only for use by fitters road testing the vehicle: No, fitters using a vehicle in the course of a test are exempt from the use of tachographs.
• Whenever he drives off the public road: No, this is not quite correct.
• Only when his vehicle is being used for road maintenance: No, unless the use of a vehicle fitted a particular exemption, this facility could not be used for this activity.
• Only when the whole of his daily duty is off the public roads: Yes, this is the only time this feature can be used.
