Download intervals
DVSA guidance sets maximum intervals between downloads for driver cards and vehicle units. Check the current figures on GOV.UK and consider downloading more often than the minimum.
Analysing the data
Use analysis software to flag infringements, then look at the pattern rather than single events. A one off might be an honest mistake, a repeat points to a planning problem.
Acting on what you find
Talk to the driver, write down what was agreed, and fix the cause. That record is what shows an examiner that the system works.
