| E8-26060 | Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption From DriveCam, Inc | Notice | The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requests public comment on an application for an exemption from DriveCam, Inc. (DriveCam) to allow the placement of video event recorders at the top of the windshields on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The exemption would enable any motor carrier using DriveCam devices to mount the recorders lower in the windshield that is lower than what is currently permitted by the Agency's regulations in order to obtain the most effective view of the driver, passengers or outside area to maximize the ability to improve driver behavior and understand the root causes of collisions. Motor carriers would use the video event recorders to increase safety through (1) identification and remediation of risky driving behaviors such as distracted driving and drowsiness; (2) enhanced monitoring of passenger behavior; and (3) enhanced collision review and analysis. DriveCam believes this mounting position would maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved without the exemption. | 2008-10-31 | 2008 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/10/31/E8-26060/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-drivecam-inc | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-10-31/pdf/E8-26060.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requests public comment on an application for an exemption from DriveCam, Inc.
