What does the driver do when they subsequently run a route that doesn't require a tachograph (and might not have a tachograph fitted)? How do they account for their hours during the rest of the working week?
They need to record any driving they do on their tacho cards the next time they insert their card into a digital tachograph, or record it on the back of an analogue tachograph if they have used one on that day. Then all of this gets downloaded directly to the company GNE use (TMS Analysis) who check drivers hours, bus hours, etc. Always best whenever possible to keep EU work separate from Domestic.
