When the DVSA reviews your drivers' hours, they don't just want to see the infringements — they want to see that the driver was told, understood, and acknowledged them. Chasing signatures on paper printouts is a thankless job. DDIR does it on the driver's phone, with the evidence held against the record.
Analysing your tachograph data is only half the job. The half that actually protects your Operator Licence is what you do next: telling the driver, making sure they understand, and keeping proof that you did. That closing of the loop is exactly what an examiner looks for — and exactly what paper sign-offs make so painful.
For every drivers'-hours infringement, the DVSA expects to see a chain: the infringement was recorded, it was reported to the driver, the driver acknowledged it, and the whole thing is retained as evidence. Miss any link — especially the driver's acknowledgement — and it looks like the infringement was spotted and ignored, which is far worse than the infringement itself.
With Tacho Analytics switched on, DDIR analyses your drivers' hours and pushes each driver's own infringements to their phone. The driver sees what happened, in plain English, and signs it off in the app. The signature is captured and held against their record automatically — no printouts, no chasing, no filing.
Drivers don't read tachograph printouts, and a signature on something they didn't understand proves little. DDIR explains each infringement in plain language — what it was, when it happened and why it matters — so the acknowledgement is genuine and the driver actually learns from it. That's how repeat infringements stop.
Every acknowledgement becomes part of your audit-ready record, ready to produce for a DVSA visit, a Public Inquiry or the Traffic Commissioner. It's the difference between saying you manage infringements and being able to prove it — instantly, per driver.
In-app sign-off is one part of DDIR's tachograph analysis, which sits inside the all-in-one DDIR platform alongside walkarounds, OCRS and Andre, the AI transport manager who keeps an eye on outstanding sign-offs for you. See DDIR or book a demo to watch it on a real infringement.
