A supervisor who has been trained for the role observes slurred speech, unsteady balance, and the smell of alcohol on a driver about to dispatch. What testing does this support?
- A.No testing is possible without a crash
- B.A test of every driver in the fleet that day
- C.A search of the driver's house
- D.Reasonable suspicion testing, based on specific, observable signs documented by the trained supervisor
Correct answer
D. Reasonable suspicion testing, based on specific, observable signs documented by the trained supervisor
Why
Reasonable suspicion rests on what a trained observer can actually see, hear, and smell at the time, and the observations must be written down promptly. It cannot rest on rumors, old events, or a supervisor's general dislike of a driver.
