Managing Journey Monitoring Devices and Image Recording Devices
Drivers of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles with 8 seats or more (excluding the driver’s seat), tractors, ambulances, and fire trucks are responsible for managing journey monitoring devices and image recording devices throughout their driving time. This management includes ensuring that the devices are functioning properly, maintaining a stable connection, and accurately recording data.
Compliance with Driving Time Regulations
According to Clause 1, Article 64 of the Road Traffic Law, drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 10 hours/day and 48 hours/week. Continuous driving time must not exceed 4 hours, and drivers must comply with relevant regulations of the Labor Code. Adhering to this regulation helps prevent fatigue, ensures driver health, and limits traffic accidents.
Timely Incident Reporting
Drivers must immediately notify the transportation business unit or vehicle owner if the journey monitoring device or image recording device malfunctions, stops working, or loses connection. Timely reporting helps resolve issues quickly, ensures continuous monitoring, and avoids penalties for violations.

Journey and image data must be transmitted to the server of the Traffic Police Department within the prescribed time (no more than 2 minutes for journey data and no more than 5 minutes for image data).
The Importance of Driver Responsibility
Drivers fulfilling their responsibilities plays a crucial role in ensuring traffic safety, improving the efficiency of transportation operations, and fostering a healthy transportation business environment.
