What must the driver confirm about placards before starting a trip, and during the trip?
- A.That any placard is acceptable as long as one side has one
- B.That placards are needed only at the shipper
- C.That the correct placards are in place, readable, and the same on all four required sides, and that they remain so throughout the trip
- D.That damaged placards may be ignored
Correct answer
C. That the correct placards are in place, readable, and the same on all four required sides, and that they remain so throughout the trip
Why
Responders may approach from any direction, so placarding must be consistent on the front, rear, and both sides of the vehicle. A missing or wrong placard is a compliance defect the driver owns once the wheels turn.
