The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is renewing vision exemptions for 66 commercial motor vehicle drivers. These exemptions allow drivers with vision impairments in one eye to continue operating vehicles across state lines. Each renewal is valid for two years, provided drivers continue to meet health and safety conditions. The FMCSA is asking for public comments and will consider revoking exemptions if they compromise safety.
Simple Explanation
The government has decided to let 66 truck drivers who can't see well in one eye keep driving big trucks for two more years, as long as they stay healthy and safe. They are also asking people to share their thoughts about this decision.
