Respond honestly to a missed selection
Know what can and cannot be repaired afterward.
Select the category before moving
Select qualifying PC or YM before the movement starts. End the category when the activity ends. Without the selection, the ELD may record ordinary driving.
A factual annotation explains the missed selection while preserving the recorded event.
An annotation explains; it does not erase
Automatically recorded driving generally cannot be reduced or changed to non-driving. If you forgot the selection, annotate what happened and contact safety. An annotation does not remove the driving or automatically cancel a violation.
