The tachograph control device is a rather inconvenient device, according to many drivers and companies that are engaged in passenger or cargo transportation. Therefore, it is not surprising that many drivers want to find a way to trick the tachograph. If you know it, then you can safely drive as much as you like, and this will allow drivers to earn more money.

In order to understand how to deceive the tachograph, you need to know its principle of operation. It is known that he registers the mode of work and rest of the driver on a special card. Measurement of labor is carried out on the basis of the distance traveled by the car. It receives data from the vehicle speed sensor. Therefore, this device is connected to the speed sensor. Knowing this, you can take any action.

How to cheat an analog type tachograph?

The most reliable way is to disconnect the device from the on-board network of the car, that is, from the battery. In this case, there will be no registration of rest, labor, distance traveled, speed. Byin fact, the device will "think" that the car is standing still, since data from the speed sensor will not be received. The method of deception is simple: just install some kind of switch on the circuit between the device and the battery. It can be any small toggle switch under the dashboard, which can be turned on and off as needed.

The second way is to disconnect the speed sensor from the tachograph or create a switch between them to break the circuit. However, it should be borne in mind that although the tachograph will not record the mode of work, speed and distance traveled, there will be an error on the puck about a malfunction of the speed sensor. With such an error, the driver must go to the workshop for repairs. After that, the workshop will issue a certificate for recalibrating the device after repair.

Note that the workshop will remove the seals from the tachograph during the repair, which will automatically remove the device from the warranty. Therefore, this method of deception is highly questionable. In addition, when checking the device for a 28-day period, the inspector may find an error record on one of the tacho washers, which will immediately reveal fraudulent manipulations with the device. Recall that a fine for a tachograph (malfunction or interference with the design) is due in the amount of 1000-3000 rubles.

The third way is to install magnets on the speed sensor. However, in this case, there will also be errors, and they are detected in a similar way to the previous one.

The fourth way is to interfere with the design of a mechanical device. You can insert into itpaper clips or pins to block the rotating gears. But keep in mind that this is likely to lead to further damage, which is fraught with costly repairs. Also, a malfunction will be recorded on the tacho washer, which the inspector will accurately identify. And for a faulty tachograph control device, a fine is provided.

Digital tachograph fraud

Today, no one knows how to deceive a digital type tachograph without revealing the consequences. It is almost impossible to do this. The fact is that any intervention, whether it is turning off the power from the device, installing a magnet on the speed sensor, or creating an artificial break in the circuit between the sensor and the tachograph itself, is easily detected at the first check by the traffic police inspector.

Error checking

Note that digital instruments were developed in connection with the increasing cases of deception of conventional analog tachographs. In digital models, all information is recorded on internal memory, so any intervention is also recorded. You can even check it yourself. It is necessary to find the "Errors" or "Events" item in the device menu and print the contents. It will clearly indicate when the battery was disconnected, how long the power was missing, whether the speed sensor was turned off, whether the car was moving without a driver card, whether it exceeded the speed and mode of operation. All data will be immediately visible to the inspector. How to print out an error can be found in the tachograph instructions.

Responsibility for manipulation

According to the current legislation, for the absence of this device, a fine of 1000-3000 rubles is imposed on the driver. The same punishment will follow for a faulty device, for the lack of seals on it, for any structural change. Therefore, you should not hope that you will be able to deceive the tachograph. There is currently no way to do this.

Are tachographs needed at all?

Of course, they are needed. With the introduction of these devices, the level of safety on the roads of Russia has increased. Therefore, the use of these funds is 100% justified. Therefore, you should not try to bypass their protection, as luck in this may result in an accident due to poor driver coordination caused by processing. So the use of this device is in the interests of the driver himself, even if he does not realize it.
