Regulations & HealthQuestion 108 of 120
You encounter unexpected snow that was not forecast when you dispatched, which slows your trip badly. What relief does the adverse driving conditions exception provide?
a.Up to 2 additional hours of driving time and 2 additional hours of the 14-hour window to complete the run or reach a safe place
b.Unlimited driving time until the load is delivered
c.Four additional hours of driving time
d.It waives the requirement to keep records for that day
Explanation
The exception adds up to two hours of driving time and extends the driving window by the same two hours when conditions could not have been known before dispatch. It is not unlimited, is not four hours, and never removes the duty to record hours.
