Ontario MTO Truck Knowledge Practice Test

How many hours can a driver drive in one day?

1. 13 hours

2. 8 hours

3. 10 hours

4. 15 hours

The correct answer is: 13 hours

Insurance regulations state that a truck driver may not exceed 13 hours of driving time in a single day. This is to ensure the safety of both the driver and others on the road. It is important for drivers to take breaks and rest in order to maintain alertness and prevent accidents. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they either fall under the maximum limit of 13 hours or exceed it, thus they do not align with the regulations. Option B may be a popular misconception as it is the standard work day for most people, but it is not applicable to truck drivers. Option D may seem like a reasonable answer, but it exceeds the maximum driving time set for safety reasons. Option C is the closest answer, but again, it falls under the maximum limit and is not the correct answer. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it aligns with the safety regulations set for truck drivers.
