  1. A
    The driver is permitted to continue driving without penalty because the BAC level is below the 0.04% commercial limit.

  4. D

Cevap

The driver must be placed out of service immediately for at least 24 hours.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require that any driver who is found to have any detectable amount of alcohol or a BAC of 0.01% to 0.039% while on duty or operating a commercial motor vehicle must be placed out of service immediately for a minimum of 24 hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the driver's tested Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and operating status.
The driver recorded a BAC of 0.02% during a commercial motor vehicle roadside inspection.
Determining the exact BAC range distinguishes between out-of-service enforcement and full license disqualification.
2
Apply the commercial vehicle alcohol safety regulations regarding detectable alcohol levels.
Any detectable alcohol level or BAC up to 0.039% triggers an immediate 24-hour out-of-service order, while 0.04% or higher triggers a minimum one-year CDL disqualification.
Commercial motor vehicle rules enforce strict zero-tolerance policies to prevent impaired operation.
3
Select the option specifying the 24-hour out-of-service mandate.
Placing the driver out of service for 24 hours is the correct required action.
The driver is legally prohibited from operating any commercial motor vehicle during this 24-hour period.
