2.

If you only work for 7 ½ hours, you are not required to take a half hour break.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

If you only work for 7 ½ hours, it is not necessary to take a half-hour break because the law generally requires employees to take a break after working a certain number of hours. In this case, since the employee is working less than the required number of hours for a break, they are not obligated to take one.

A driver's half hour break is to be used in the off duty status of the log.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The statement is true because according to regulations, a driver's half-hour break should be taken in the off-duty status of their log. This means that during this break, the driver should not be performing any work-related activities and should be completely free from any duty or responsibility. This break is important to ensure that drivers get sufficient rest and avoid fatigue, which is crucial for safe driving.

According to the 34 hour restart rule, if you wanted to start at 5:00 A.M. Monday morning, when would you need to be done working?
- 7:00 P.M. Saturday night
- 6:00 P.M. Saturday night
- 4:00 P.M. Friday night
- 3:00 P.M. Friday night
Correct Answer

A. 7:00 P.M. Saturday night

Explanation

The 34-hour restart rule states that a driver must take at least 34 consecutive hours off duty before starting a new workweek. If the driver wants to start at 5:00 A.M. on Monday morning, they would need to be done working by 7:00 P.M. on Saturday night. This allows for a full 34-hour period of rest before beginning the next workweek.

This could be due to factors such as increased traffic congestion, longer commute times, or additional regulations that drivers have to comply with. Overall, this suggests that the new law will have a moderate impact on the time lost by drivers.

According to the video, what is one of the most dangerous times to drive?
- Morning rush hour

Morning rush hour is one of the most dangerous times to drive because it is a time when many people are commuting to work or school, resulting in heavy traffic and congestion on the roads. This increased volume of vehicles can lead to a higher likelihood of accidents and collisions. Additionally, drivers may be more stressed and in a hurry during this time, which can contribute to reckless driving behaviors and a higher risk of accidents.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Shutting down for 34 hours in the middle of the week would disrupt the flow of work and potentially cause delays or inefficiencies. It would not serve as a restart for the week, as it would require additional time to catch up on the missed work and reestablish momentum. Therefore, the statement is false.

- 1:00 A.M. Monday morning
Correct Answer

A. 5:00 A.M. Sunday Morning

Explanation

If you start your 34-hour break at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, the break will end at 1:00 A.M. on Sunday morning. However, according to the hours of service regulations, you must take a minimum of 10 consecutive hours off duty before you can drive again. Therefore, the earliest time you can drive again would be 5:00 A.M. on Sunday morning.
