§ 29.404. Unsafe operations forbidden.
A common carrier or contract carrier may not permit or require a driver to operate a vehicle revealed by inspection or operation not to comply with § 29.402 or § 29.403 (relating to vehicle equipment requirements; and requirements for passenger service operation). If a vehicle being operated on a highway is discovered not to comply with § 29.402 or § 29.403, it may be continued in operation to the carrier’s nearest terminal, the carrier’s place of business or other similar location where repairs can be effected safely; however, this operation may be conducted only if it is less hazardous to the public than permitting the vehicle to remain on the highway.
