Video tutorial

This video explains how the VDO, that is, the digital tachograph, works on a commercial vehicle, as explained by someone who uses it every day: at the top, we see the time, and we see that we are in activity (due to the two crossed hammers); the first driver has 1 hour and 7 minutes of driving, the second line indicates the bi-weekly hours, then next to it shows the rest hours and other activities (different from driving); it then goes to the second driver's activity; the VDO indicates that there are 3 hours and 23 minutes of driving left, then the driver must take a 45-minute break to have another 4.5 hours of driving.

The next screen tells us that out of 24 hours, there are 8 hours and 53 minutes of driving left, and 13 hours and 31 minutes of commitment, after which they can take 9 hours of rest.

Then it shows the activity for the first week: they still have 48 hours and 27 minutes of driving available, and 118 hours and 30 minutes of activity before the 24 hours of rest, another screen for information, there are still 2 reduced periods of 9 hours and they can still do 2 times 10 hours of driving and zero hours to recover.
