The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 31 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per duty per vehicle class per regime - the interval (digital 2-yearly test, analogue 2-yearly inspection and 6-yearly recalibration), the retrofit deadline by date of first registration, the regulation number behind it, and whether it bites on domestic or international work only - for GB, Northern Ireland and the EU side by side. The derivation is the ANSWER A DATE PRODUCES: given a vehicle's registration date, tachograph generation and route, which deadline has already passed and which is next; and the changed-since as each amending instrument lands.", "embed": "
