What happens if a vehicle is placed "out of service"?

When a vehicle is placed "out of service," it means that it has been deemed unsafe for operation due to specific safety violations or malfunctions. The designation of "out of service" effectively prohibits any further driving until the identified issues are addressed. This ensures the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users. Therefore, the driver must rectify the problems that led to the out-of-service determination before the vehicle can be legally operated again.

This regulation underscores the importance of maintaining safe vehicles within the transportation industry, emphasizing that safety takes precedence over operational convenience. Addressing the issues identified is crucial to ensure the vehicle meets all safety standards and is roadworthy.
