30ZF: Drivers must maintain logbooks

You could also call this:

“Drivers need to write down their daily driving in a special book”

You must keep a logbook if you’re a driver, unless you’re allowed not to. The logbook needs to be kept in a specific way that the rules say. You also need to use a form that the Agency approves. The Agency will make sure the form follows the rules. This is to make sure everyone keeps track of their driving in the same way.
