The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation, has decided to renew vision requirement exemptions for 53 commercial motor vehicle drivers. These exemptions allow the drivers to operate their vehicles despite not meeting vision requirements in one eye. This decision is based on evidence showing they can drive safely under these conditions. The exemptions are valid for two years, and each driver must continue to meet specific health and safety conditions to keep their exemption.
Simple Explanation
The government is saying it's okay for 53 truck drivers who can't see well in one eye to keep driving big trucks. They checked and found that these drivers can still drive safely like this.
