Commercial motor vehicles are subject to randomized roadside inspections by police officers, in order to determine that they and the driver are roadworthy. Interesting. Commercial drivers are definitely allowed less “freedom” than the uninitiated may think, but for a good reason, given the safety implications and endemically very high danger of the roads and motor vehicles. Noteworthy is that the introduction of smartphones has made electronic logging much easier for commercial drivers, and “Form and Manner” violations of missing dates on the log basically vanish.
I happened to find this at random when searching for documentation on Chef Inspec.
