    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.

  • 2024-31267 — Commercial Driver's License: State of Hawaii; Application for Exemption
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106729
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is considering a request from Hawaii for a five-year exemption from some commercial driver's license (CDL) and training requirements. Currently, Hawaii has a two-year exemption that lets drivers on the islands of Lanai and Molokai skip parts of the CDL skills test, but it expires in 2026. Hawaii wants to extend this exemption and add more leniency for training providers in those areas. The FMCSA is asking the public to share their opinions on whether to cancel the current exemption and grant a new one. Comments must be submitted by January 29, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FMCSA is thinking about giving Hawaii a longer break from some driving test rules for big trucks on two small islands, and they want to know what people think about this idea. They are wondering if they should keep the old rule until 2026 or make a new one that lasts five years.
