Sec.  392.14  Hazardous conditions; extreme caution.



    Extreme caution in the operation of a commercial motor vehicle shall 

be exercised when hazardous conditions, such as those caused by snow, 

ice, sleet, fog, mist, rain, dust, or smoke, adversely affect visibility 

or traction. Speed shall be reduced when such conditions exist. If 

conditions become sufficiently dangerous, the operation of the 

commercial motor vehicle shall be discontinued and shall not be resumed 

until the commercial motor vehicle can be safely operated. Whenever 

compliance with the foregoing provisions of this rule increases hazard 

to passengers, the commercial motor vehicle may be operated to the 

nearest point at which the safety of passengers is assured.
