UK – the obligation to record border crossings

HGV drivers using digital tachographs are also asked to register border crossings when entering the UK.

With new provisions of the Mobility Package now in effect, the requirement to register border crossings has also been retained in British regulations, which now comply with the recent change of the Mobility Package. Lorry drivers are therefore asked to follow the same procedure that is required when entering other EU countries.
