Section 260:135-5-164 - Incomplete applications

(a) If an applicant has passed at least one (1) examination required for issuance of a commercial driver license, but is unable to complete successfully other required examinations, for whatever reason, the application shall be designated by the Department as "Incomplete". The applicant shall have one (1) year from the date of the last examination taken to complete the application process; provided, if a license has not been obtained by the end of one (1) year from the date of the last examination taken, the applicant shall be required to restart the application process if he or she desires to continue to attempt to obtain a commercial driver license. Reasons for an "Incomplete" designation may include, but are not limited to:

(1) The applicant does not have an appropriate commercial motor vehicle for a skills examination.

(2) The applicant provides an unsafe or improperly equipped commercial motor vehicle for a skills examination.

(3) The applicant is unfamiliar with the commercial motor vehicle being operated for a skills examination resulting in termination of the examination by the driver examiner. If time allows, the applicant shall be allowed a second opportunity on the same day to take the skills examination. If the applicant is still unfamiliar with the vehicle, the applicant shall be required to take the examination on another day.

(4) The applicant is required, for medical reasons, to obtain a clearance from the Medical Desk of the Department of Public Safety. If required, the proper medical form will be issued by the examiner to the applicant.

(5) The applicant fails to meet vision standards, at which time a DL-20 shall be issued to the applicant [see OAC 260:135-5-165(c) regarding DL-20].

(6) The applicant, during the skills examination, is involved in a collision which is not the fault of the applicant.

(b) A passing score for any examination shall remain valid for a period of one (1) year from the date the of the initial application. If a license has not been obtained by the end of the one (1) year period, the applicant shall be required to restart the application process if he or she desires to continue to attempt to obtain a commercial driver license.
