    Hi everyone, when the E-LOG have NO more driving hours, can I still drive to a safe place in 15 / 20 mins more ?? That means that am busting by 15 mins my time ? Can I get in trouble or they (the badges ) would be supple ? Would I get a find ?
    Thank you for all answers

    This is why you are issued a cyanide pill at driver orientation. When this happens, you are to take the pill in order to eliminate the risk that the badges may take you alive. It's quite simple, plan well or else!

    And for all of you who have absolutely no sense of humor, please turn your sarcasm filter on now.

    No, you shoulda stopped at the last one. THATS why you got the 11 hours. That LAST HOUR is posed to be your buffer, but in true "truck driver" fashion, you think you gotta drive every last minute, and then some.

    Stay put.

    Poor trip planning, When you run out your 11 hour driving time, by the time you finish your 8th hour revaluate your progress against where you would like to park tonight. If it works out, proceed. if it doesnt, stop at the nearest truckstop and park for the 10 hours sleeper.

    The pretty ELD does nothing but want to violate you, violate you and continue to stack violations against you.
