What must be included in the safety records monitored by the director?

The inclusion of warnings given by police officials in the safety records monitored by the director is significant because such warnings can reflect the operational safety practices of a carrier. These warnings often indicate compliance with safety regulations and can highlight areas where a carrier may need to improve or make adjustments to maintain safety standards. Monitoring these warnings allows for more effective oversight of the carrier's adherence to safety protocols.

In contrast, financial statements, insurance policy details, and vehicle registration documents are essential for other regulatory purposes but do not directly measure the safety performance or compliance of the carrier in the same manner as documented warnings from law enforcement regarding safety infractions or concerns. Therefore, the focus on warnings emphasizes the proactive aspect of safety management, ensuring that any violations or concerns are addressed promptly to maintain road safety.
