2025 National Safety Code Carrier Safety Practice Test – Complete Exam Prep

Non-compliance with National Safety Code (NSC) regulations can lead to increased insurance premiums. This is because insurance companies assess risk based on a driver's and carrier's compliance history. When a carrier or driver fails to adhere to safety regulations, it indicates increased risk for the insurer, which may subsequently result in higher premiums to account for potential claims or liabilities. Insurers seek to mitigate their financial exposure, and non-compliance signals that the carrier or driver might have more accidents or incidents, thus justifying a price increase in insurance coverage.

In contrast, automatic driver promotions, job security for drivers, and enhanced vehicle performance are not outcomes typically associated with non-compliance. In fact, non-compliance could jeopardize a driver's career advancement and job security, as well as negatively impact vehicle performance due to inadequate maintenance or disregard for operational standards.
