kscarbel2 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) / June 17, 2015Rulemaking to consider requirements for rear impact guards and other safety strategies on single unit trucks has reached the next stage. A separate rulemaking to require the guards on trailers and semi-trailers, however, is running slightly behind its single-unit counterpart.On June 12, the White House Office of Management and Budget received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s proposal to require devices to mitigate rear-end underride crashes of single unit trucks.Last July, NHTSA said it would issue an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for rear impact guards for single unit trucks and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the guards on trailers and semi-trailers.The agency began the efforts last year after the Truck Safety Coalition petitioned to have all trucks and trailers equipped with energy-absorbing rear impact or underride guards guards. These would be mounted lower to the ground — 16 inches — with vertical supports spaced farther apart — 8 inches from the side edges.The coalition says these guards would effectively protect car occupants from death and injury in rear impact crashes..

They have to be able to think to used it. Thinking about driving interupts texting, talking, eating, playing music, watching a video, getting dressed or putting on make up..... pick two.

mike69mackman Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 How are you going to put rear impact guards on straight trucks when most have lift gates that would get in the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
