Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A device in a vehicle which has a disc that traces and records time, distance, driving speed and driver work hours.
A tachograph is a recording device fitted in heavy vehicles, with a disc that traces time, distance, driving speed and the driver's work hours. Its purpose is to allow inspection of driving and rest hours and speed limits, helping prevent driver fatigue and accidents. It is not a tool for detecting mechanical faults or for saving fuel.
