- 60

Answer: A. 120
For Cycle 2, you must not drive after completing 120 hours of on-duty time in 14 consecutive days.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's Cycle 2 rule sets a 14-day limit of 120 on-duty hours. Once a driver reaches that total, driving is not allowed. The same passage also mentions a 70-hour point that triggers a required 24 consecutive hours off duty, but that is separate from the 14-day driving limit asked about. The number matching the question is 120.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 60 — The passages do not give a 60-hour limit for Cycle 2 in 14 days.
- C. 70 — Seventy hours is tied to the Cycle 2 off-duty requirement and to Cycle 1's seven-day limit in the passages, not to the Cycle 2 14-day driving limit.
- D. 50 — The passages do not give a 50-hour limit for Cycle 2 in 14 days.
Remember it
Remember Cycle 2 by its two-week cap: 120 hours in 14 days.
