Correct answer to question 123 (Hazardous Materials): Stop as soon as safely possible and replace or repair the placard before continuing

Why

A missing or damaged placard leaves the vehicle without required hazard identification, so it needs to be fixed as soon as it is safely possible rather than continuing the trip or waiting until arrival.
