A dispatch manager at a freight company notices that a driver who has just arrived for work smells strongly of alcohol and is slurring words. What is the correct action for the manager?
💡 Hint
Employers who hire or manage drivers must supervise them to obey the law, and must not make or let a driver drive when they know the driver is in a state in which driving is prohibited (Article 56 of the Road Traffic Act). Be suspicious of the idea that only the driver is responsible.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 56(2) of the Road Traffic Act, an employer or manager of drivers must not knowingly fail to stop, or order, a driver who must not drive, such as one who is drunk. Under paragraph 1, they also have a duty to constantly remind and supervise drivers to obey the law. Sending the driver out because it is a short trip or because the driver says they are fine is a violation.
