Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 770-X-10-.17-7-.02 - Unsafe Operations Forbidden

No motor carrier shall permit or require a driver to drive any motor vehicle revealed by inspection or operation to be in such condition that its operation would be hazardous or likely to result in a breakdown of the vehicle, nor shall any driver drive any motor vehicle which by reason of its mechanical condition is so imminently dangerous to operate as to be likely to cause an accident or a breakdown of the vehicle. If, while any motor vehicle is being operated on a highway, it is discovered to be in such unsafe condition, it shall be continued in operation only to the nearest place where repairs can safely be effected, and then such operations shall be conducted only if it be less hazardous to the public than permitting the vehicle to remain on the highway.
