El Tacógrafo es inviolable

A security element for users and drivers. The tachograph is impenetrable.

 

The tachograph is an electronic device that records distance traveled, speed, driver rest or interruptions. It is undoubtedly an indispensable element in coaches and a basic element for day-to-day transporters. The digital tachograph was implanted on January 1, 2006 in a mandatory manner for all vehicles whose weight exceeds 3,500 kg or vehicles that can transport 9 or more people, including the driver. Until now the manipulation of the tachograph was considered a very serious administrative infraction punished with a fine for the company and with a fine and withdrawal of 6 points for the driver.

However, from a recent Supreme Court ruling, this act will become a criminal offense. The penalties may amount to three years in jail and it will be considered as a crime of falsehood in an official document. From the Road Safety Prosecutor’s Office an Instruction has been sent to all the Civil Guard traffic headquarters and to the different regional police to intensify the controls and investigate the drivers (and, where appropriate, also their companies) that adulterate the tachograph of the vehicle, urging, if appropriate, criminal cases against them.

 

It should be noted and remembered that the Chapín Group buses have intelligent tachograph, essential element for everyone’s safety.
