Today, Dave will be driving to a site more than 160 km (100 miles) away carrying materials for road maintenance and towing the small trailer. How will he keep his daily records?

Explanation: • On his digital tachograph driver card: No, this vehicle would be exempt EU rules under Article 13 of EC 561/2006.
• On his analogue tachograph chart: No, this vehicle would be exempt EU rules under Article 13 of EC 561/2006 and in any case, his vehicle was first registered in 2008 and would therefore be fitted with a digital tachograph.
• He will not need to keep a record because he is under British Domestic law: No, this would only be true if he were to drive for less than 4 hours in a day. Having a round trip of more than 200 miles and a speed limiter set to a maximum of 56 mph. it is not likely that he will drive for less than 4 hours this day.
• In his Domestic record book or sheet: Yes.
