The plain-words read of this example

The inspection scored 95 of 100 (pass at 95), with 1 item not confirmed. None of the open items is an automatic out-of-service condition, but check each against the criteria before you leave. Write each defect on the report and sign it; the carrier certifies the repair, and the next driver signs to show they reviewed it. Tires are the common miss: the legal minimum is 4/32 in on the steer axle.
