Vehicle InspectionPregunta 25 de 120
Which statement best describes the driver's legal responsibility before operating a commercial vehicle?
a.The mechanic's signature transfers responsibility away from the driver
b.Only the motor carrier is responsible for vehicle condition
c.Responsibility begins only after the first 50 miles of the trip
d.The driver must be satisfied that service brakes, parking brake, steering, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, coupling devices, wheels, and emergency equipment are in good working order
Explicación
The regulation places a personal duty on the driver to be satisfied that a specific list of components is in good working order before driving. A mechanic's signature and the carrier's own duties do not remove the driver's responsibility, and it applies from the first mile.
