What is the primary purpose of the Class 5 CSST?

The primary purpose of the Class 5 CSST is to ensure drivers are knowledgeable about commercial driving regulations and safety standards. This focus on knowledge is crucial because commercial driving encompasses a set of unique responsibilities, rules, and safety measures that are distinct from standard driving practices.

Commercial drivers must be aware of various regulations concerning vehicle operation, load management, safety protocols, and more to ensure not only their safety but that of other road users as well. Understanding these regulations helps minimize accidents and promotes safe driving environments. While evaluating driving skills, issuing licenses, and insurance are related concepts, the emphasis of the Class 5 CSST is on the knowledge base required to adhere to these specific commercial driving standards effectively.
