Thank you for video. I've been a bus driver over 2 years and never used a tacho card until I started a new coach driving job last week. Video helps as I'm all new to tacho cards.

Thanks James, just a quick spot up, just what I needed for start of a new job. Not used a tacho for a few years. Cheers.

Got a trail shift tomorrow which is my first ever driving job. Didn’t have a clue before this video… now I have an understanding of how it works. Brilliant.

Thank you James, I so much enjoyed the educative video targeted to teach and help new coming drivers. just to let you know, your support meant a lot to us. Also to answer your question, yes it does helped me a lot, I felt better than i stated, and I achieved some skills from you. hopefully I get there..Thanks once again

Thank you sir and its really helps to any new filipino trailer drivers in europe how to use and understand a tacho machine.

[bogdan]

Great explanation, tomorrow I will start my first shift and I'm not confident on how to use the Taho, at least after watching your vide I have a better understanding.thank you!

[adrianwinter]

Great video James. Made what I thought was rocket science very easy to understand. I'm a noob and everyone tells you the tacho is easy to use but until you've had hands on experience it isn't easy but watching this well explained video I now realise that it is really not as difficult as i thought so great job buddy 👍.

[chriswills]

Thanks James, best tutorial I’ve found yet, really appreciate this.

[philg]

Nice one James. It is better actually seeing you use it. But yeah I think I’ll need some time to really get my head around it. I’ll watch this again. But nice one. Cheers.

[andywelburn]

Thanks for posting this. Very informative.

[Jake-mciu]

Very helpful, I’ve just started and messed up my tacho, did a print out last night and wrote on the back the reason for the mistakes 😂 I’ll be sure to do it like this tonight haha thank you James!

Have got my class 2 booked in August and cpc also. The number of questions and studying that has to be done is mind-boggling. I respect the class 1 and 2 drivers a lot more.
This video has helped me understand the tacho more as when reading about it I was thinking is it really worth doing it all.

[davehodges]

Great clip there mate well done, , When i have my first break i always take around 17/18mins, VOSA will be happy with that and remember one can often go over there break time " But NOT under your 15min break, Also i have a hour for lunch" so all happy" Cheers for the clip and so easy to understand for new drivers, .

[malcolmpaternoster]

Loved the video. I haven't driven on a digital tacho yet. Only the old paper tachos. So found it very interesting. As I want to get back driving again. Thank you 👍
