Abstract
The importance of the tachograph is examined, as this device is crucial in monitoring the work of drivers in commercial and passenger road traffic, in particular drivers' working hours, length of rest periods, manner of driving and other activities professional drivers engage in during work. A tachograph, moreover, provides vital information to the road traffic inspection regarding the transport companies' compliance with the regulations, mainly their observance of the working hours and possible overwork in road transport. Strict adherence to these regulations is stressed as a crucial factor in road safety and accident prevention.
