It records a vehicles movements, speed and hours that the driver has worked in a day. All HGVs have them fitted. They must be kept up to date. If VOSA stop you and find it to be incomplete or not working, not there are big fines involved.

Basically a bit of paper inside the dashboard that gets everything written on, i.e time of day driving, speed etc

Again, its the law and for tax purposes.
You do have the option to drive it for personal use, but you will have to pay tax personally, something silly like 5k a year off the top of my head.

Not aware of anything for private vans for self employed people. Bloody hope not anyway!
