Ch. 11 · Owner & Manager

Safe-driving managers must retain records of alcohol screening confirmations made with an alcohol detector for six months.

[True / False · Hard]

Hikari

Six months sounds about right for keeping those alcohol-test records, doesn't it?

Yui

Actually, that's false! Safe-driving managers have to keep those records for a full year, not just six months.

Hikari

Oh wow, double the time I thought!

Yui

Yep! Just remember: one year for alcohol detector records — it's longer than you'd think.
