No driver shall operate a motor vehicle, and a motor
carrier shall not require or permit a driver to operate a motor vehicle, while
the driver's ability or alertness is so impaired, or so likely to become
impaired, through fatigue, illness, or any other cause, as to make it unsafe
for him/her to begin or continue to operate the motor vehicle. However, in a
case of grave emergency where the hazard to occupants of the motor vehicle or
other users of the highway would be increased by compliance with this section,
the driver may continue to operate the motor vehicle to the nearest place at
which that hazard is removed.
