Interpretations to Part 396 — Inspection, repair, and maintenance
Question 1: Under what conditions may a vehicle that has been placed ‘‘out of service’’ under §396.3 be moved?
Guidance: The vehicle may be moved by being placed entirely upon another vehicle, towed by a vehicle equipped with a crane or hoist, or driven if the ‘‘out of service’’ condition no longer exists.
Question 2: Is it the intent of §396.9 to allow "out of service" vehicles to be towed?
Guidance: Yes; however, not all out of service vehicles may be towed away from the inspection location. The regulation sets up a flexible situation that will permit the inspecting officer to use his/her best judgment on a case-by-case basis.
