Oh, I don't doubt it Conor. I merely provided the link to show that
virtually any attempt to fiddle a tacho can be detected by a competent
analyst. That's not to say that many 'fiddlers' don't get away with it
because a Bobby who has been given a short 'introduction' to tachograph
charts, has not spotted such a fiddle on a normal visual roadside check.

The tachograph chart shown is dated 1986, and almost all of what is written
is no longer relevant to the present generation of tachographs or even the
last generation.

Quite frankly, this is a pack of lies. It is not possible to disable a speed
limiter with a screwdriver and a piece of Blu-Tack.

Furthermore, if anyone was running in the manner described to Spain, it
would be impossible for this to remain undetected when stopped for a
tachograph check

"Depresion" has in the past mentioned his mental problems and this is simply
a manifestation of them.

Really then how was it possible for him to demonstrate?

I was surprised on Sunday night on the A1M to be overtaken by three
artics with Spanish registration plates. Particularly since my
speedometer was reading 75mph at the time.
