Correct answer
C. Correct it as directed, record the inspection, and deliver the inspection report to the carrier as required, because the violation follows the carrier and driver record
Why
A roadside inspection creates a record that the carrier must receive, generally within 24 hours, and the driver must sign and return it as instructed. Defects noted must be corrected and certified before the vehicle is dispatched again when the report requires it.
