Your score is

Truck drivers are required to follow all traffic laws, avoid accumulating demerit points, and report any changes in personal health that could affect driving ability. The section also covers the need to keep licence information up to date and advises drivers to renew their licences before they expire. If a licence is suspended or revoked, drivers must not operate a commercial vehicle. Understanding these responsibilities is crucial for Ontario truck drivers to ensure continued eligibility and public safety.
