Résumé de l’enjeu	Lorsque les capacités ou la vigilance du conducteur d' un véhicule utilitaire sont tellement altérées par la fatigue, la maladie ou toute autre cause, il doit être mis hors service pendant au moins 10 heures ou jusqu'à ce qu'il ne soit plus altéré.
Justification ou besoin	Au nom de l'uniformité et de la cohérence, afin de s'assurer que tout le personnel réglementaire ou chargé de l'application de la loi prenne les mesures appropriées.
Demande d’action	Les critères de désactivation de la norme nord-américaine doivent tenir compte des modifications identifiées dans le « Résumé du problème ». (Référence : 49 CFR 392.3, Opérateur malade ou fatigué)
Mesures prises par le comité	The committee discussed the issue and reviewed additional information and studies. Studies mentioned by participants were an Australian Driver Fatigue Study and one completed or being completed by the University of Minnesota. Other concerns mentioned were; the proper finite period of time for placing a driver out of service, if there should be separate entries for fatigue and illness and the inclusion of the wording “or any other cause”. Additionally, the committee was concerned with the subjectivity related to assessing ill or fatigued driver. Presentations were given and key points were discussed, such as, napping will not eliminate a sleep debt; need training for officers, changing attitudes towards sleeping and driving. A motion was made to make a change: Illness and Fatigue would be separated: When the commercial motor vehicle driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired through fatigue, he/she would be placed out of service for a minimum of 10 hours or until no longer impaired whichever of the two are greater. During discussion arguments were made about taking the subjectivity away from the officer and if we would be making this a bigger issue than we wanted it to be as it is infrequently enforced. It was further suggested to leave the wording the way it was and give the officers discretion instead of requiring them to place the driver OOS for 10 hrs when a simple medication can correct the problem within minutes. The motion failed and the wording remained for the OOS as: "declare driver out-of-service until no longer fatigued."
