corrective lenses

All I can find is this.

When I get in I'll look it up.

 

I cannot swear to it, but frankly, I thought too that a spare set of glasses is required. But then, that could have been removed long ago. I too tried looking it up.

 

I stand corrected. Talked to our compliance officer. If you require corrective lenses, and do not have them, or a back up pair with you, you will be cited and put out of service. You, not the truck. A good idea to have a spare set I think.

 

I know that if you have contacts you are REQUIRED to have a set of glasses with in arms reach when you driving a CMV

 

has common sense gone so far away that if your license says corrective lenses you need 15 responses to figure that out
silly old world aint it

 

And the hell of it is, we're a bunch of truck drivers being asked for advice. Truck drivers can't agree on what day of week it is currently. You'd have better luck and get a better more coherent reply asking a fence post.

 

So just like if you are driving your personal car and get pulled over. If not wearing contacts or glasses (both are corrective lenses) it's a ticket and I can see that.

Not to be a jack ### but where does in say that in the green book?

Yes I can see having either more contacts or second pair of glasses when out on the road. Heck when I went on vacation I took a second pair so if something happened I could still see.

I need to know if I order a pizza from papa Johns, will I get peperoni with that?

Why it's Bleenday, why can't anyone agree to that.??

And if my fence could talk, the shyte it would say!!

 

Just to be on the safe side, have 2 pairs of eyeglasses: 1) the one pair that you are wearing, 2) an extra pair of eyeglasses in case the one pair that you are wearing is either lost or broken.
