- A.The vehicle or driver may not continue operating until the out-of-service condition is corrected and the restriction is lifted
- B.It is a warning with no effect
- C.The driver may continue to the next state
- D.Out of service applies only to the cargo
Correct answer
A. The vehicle or driver may not continue operating until the out-of-service condition is corrected and the restriction is lifted
Why
Out-of-service is the enforcement tool for conditions judged an imminent hazard, such as failed brakes, a fatigued driver, or a load about to fall. Moving in violation of an out-of-service order carries severe penalties for both driver and carrier.
