An overspeeding event is recorded by the tachograph when the vehicle stays above its set speed limit for a certain amount of time.
The tachograph monitors the vehicle's speed while driving and saves these events in its data. Once the tachograph file is uploaded to Tachogram, the recorded events are displayed in the "Overspeeding events" section.

What each shows
Every overspeeding event in the Speed events table gives you the same set of details, so you can judge how severe it was at a glance.
Column | What it shows |
Start | When the overspeeding began |
End | When it ended |
Duration | How long it lasted |
Max. speed | The fastest speed the vehicle reached during the event, in km/h |
Avg. speed | The vehicle's average speed for the whole event, in km/h |
Similar events | How many other similar overspeeding events the tachograph found for that vehicle |
Driver | The driver whose card was in the tachograph at the time, linked to their driver profile; if no driver is matched, this shows the card number instead |
Because Max. speed, Avg. speed, and Duration sit side by side, you can tell how fast the vehicle was going and for how long, without having to check the raw tachograph data yourself.
Spotting patterns across events
The "Similar events" count and the "Driver" column work well together. If a vehicle has several similar events, especially with the same driver, it may point to a pattern worth looking into. This can help you identify repeated speeding and decide whether further action is needed.
Speed events can also be filtered by date and by type. For steps, see:
