When can I use emergency driving exemptions?
Emergency driving covers any hurricane, tornado, storm, tsunami, earthquake, or other natural or man-made event that interrupts essential services or supplies, or that immediately threatens human life or public welfare, provided an emergency has been declared by the U.S. President, a state governor, FMCSA, or another authorized federal, state, or local official.
Extending driving or on-duty time for an emergency only applies if further driving is necessary to reach a destination that provides safety or security for the vehicle's occupants and load.
