The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to grant Casey's Services Company an exemption from specific Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. This exemption allows Casey to use a new Intellistop module in its commercial vehicles that pulses brake lights to be more visible and help reduce rear-end crashes. The exemption is valid for five years, from April 2025 to April 2030, and it includes strict conditions for monitoring and safety checks. This limited approval is meant to collect real-world data on this technology's effectiveness in enhancing road safety.
Simple Explanation
Casey’s Services Company got special permission to use new brake lights on their trucks that blink in a special way to keep people safe. These new lights will be tested for five years to see if they help prevent accidents.
