Anyone else had this?
Apparently the DVLA have been inundated with drivers phoning up as on the 24th of march their Digi-Tacho cards have been declared invalid by the tachographs in the trucks.
When I phoned the DVLA, they reckoned that a software update for the tacho machines fitted in new vehicles had caused the issue.
Anyone else had this? 5 drivers on my shift (of 12 drivers) have had their cards refused. The tacho screen shows up CARD INVALID 48. If you press ok, it shows that there is a card in the machine but will flash up DRIVING WITHOUT CARD as soon as you move. After 2 hours or so of driving it will spit the card back out at you and will show SECURITY BREACH 47.
I have phoned the DVLA, told them the card number, been given a reference number and told to send the card off with the usual tacho renewal/application form but I will get a replacement card free of charge (rather than pay the £19 that they normally charge for a damaged card).

32 manual records then? IIRC the company is allowed a small number of generic company tacho cards, but what do they expect everyone else to do?
Vosa have relaxed the 15 day rule for manual tacho entries for the code 48 issue.No generic tacho cards at our company. Just lots of photocopies of printouts.
