Book excerpt: The importance of the role of the law enforcement officer (LEO) in the investigation of commercial motor vehicle crashes cannot be overstated, yet few LEOs have any significant specialized training in the unique standards of care that apply to operators of commercial motor vehicles. As a result, LEOs often mistakenly apply the standards applicable to drivers of cars when analyzing the conduct of a commercial driver involved in a commercial motor vehicle crash. This book is designed to address the gap in training and knowledge about the standards applicable to operators of commercial motor vehicles.
