What driving decision is required if illness makes you unable to operate safely, even though hours remain on your clock?
- A.Drive slowly in the right lane
- B.Let a non-CDL passenger drive
- C.Stop driving; having hours available does not make an impaired driver fit for duty
- D.Drive only until the next state line
Correct answer
C. Stop driving; having hours available does not make an impaired driver fit for duty
Why
Fitness for duty is a separate requirement from hours compliance: a sick or incapacitated driver must not operate even with time remaining. Stopping and notifying the carrier protects the public and the driver's own record.
