Question
When can I use a danger placard on my truck?
Answer
Tracey: It's 4.16.1, 2. But what it is, it gives you the option of using a danger placard as long as you don't have over a 1000kgs in one shipper, one consignor, or you have one more than 500kgs of two dangerous goods that does not fall under the exception. So, what you have to do is go to section 4.16.1 sub-section 2, and that gives you all the different scenarios where you cannot use the danger placard under no circumstances.
Calvin: Okay, perfect. Thank you.
