Cevap

Place the driver out of service for at least 24 hours
Commercial driving safety standards dictate that any detectable presence of alcohol or a BAC between 0.01% and 0.039% requires enforcement officers to place the driver out of service immediately for at least 24 hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the driver's tested blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level
The driver has a BAC of 0.02%, which is a detectable presence of alcohol under the 0.04% DUI threshold
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations establish distinct penalties for any detectable alcohol versus a criminal DUI threshold
2
Apply the mandatory regulatory consequence for detectable alcohol below 0.04%
The driver must be placed out of service for a minimum duration of 24 hours
Commercial vehicle rules maintain zero tolerance for alcohol in the workplace to ensure immediate roadway safety
