#tachotips 6. Not carrying (enough) printer paper You should always have sufficient ‘type approved’ paper for your tachograph (one roll to one and a half is probably enough for most drivers). Think of this as similar to the need to always to carry a sufficient supply of analogue charts. It is an offence not to have sufficient paper and there are a number of practical problems that could arise if you haven’t. The obvious would be not being able to produce printout which you, the driver, might want to keep for a personal record. More critically, for records purposes, you would not be able to produce a print-out as a ‘report for notation of problems’ as specified under Article 12 of the Regulations. For instance, if you were to exceed 4.5 hrs due to unforeseen circumstances such as a crash causing traffic delay on a Motorway. Finally, if your Driver Card is lost, stolen or stops working you would not be able to produce printouts as a temporary record, which is a mandatory requirement if you want to keep working and driving.
