# Drivers

A driver represents a person who operates a vehicle. Each driver can be identified, tracked, and associated with specific vehicles or journeys.

A driver is assigned to a group for organisational and reporting purposes.

<Note>
  A driver’s group assignment does not need to match the group assigned to their vehicle.
</Note>

A driver may be associated with a vehicle in several ways;

1. A permanent asssociation e.g their assigned company car.
2. Using a **Driver Identification**
3. Using the driver mobile app **SmartDriver**

### Driver Identification

Supported sign-in methods include:

* **TachoID** – via the driver’s Tachograph smart card
* **RFID** – by touching an RFID key fob to the MCF Light Bar prior to driving
* **DALLAS** – by touching a Dallas key fob

Key Assignment Rules - A driver key (TachoID, RFID or DALLAS) can only be assigned to a single driver. Before you can assign the key to another driver, the key must be first deleted from the donor driver.

### Private Journeys

A driver can set a journey as private using the in-cab lightbar. Private journeys are excluded from tracking and visibility within the **myConnectedFleet portal**.
