Vacating in part, the Tenth Circuit observed that, without explicitly stated criteria, the reporting of various events grouped into the accident category in the report on plaintiff necessarily would lack the precision needed to assure consistency among all reports produced by the agency. Yet there are many unexpected occurrences, the court said, encountered by commercial truck drivers and other motorists on daily basis that persons using everyday language would not characterize as accidents. Defendant argued that the occurrence of damage or injury is not essential to an accident, and that an unexpected occurrence would be sufficient.

In any event, the criteria defining the category of accidents reported on defendants forms remain largely implicit, the court said. The interests of the trucking industry, the court added, reach beyond concerns about highway safety to matters of economics and profitability. The inclusion in defendants reports of incidents in which equipment was damaged while assigned to the driver regardless of fault indicates the extremely broad definition of accident that is sometimes used.

The inclusion in defendants reports of incidents in which equipment was damaged while assigned to the driver regardless of fault indicates the extremely broad definition of accident that is sometimes used. The employers that supply the information to the agency rely largely on their own criteria for reporting accidents and other events worthy of note, and these criteria vary.

The inclusion in defendants reports of incidents in which equipment was damaged while assigned to the driver regardless of fault indicates the extremely broad definition of accident that is sometimes used. Defendant argued that the occurrence of damage or injury is not essential to an accident, and that an unexpected occurrence would be sufficient. For example, one incident cited against plaintiff concerned his turning around on private parking lot, apparently damaging the surface of the lot.

South Dakota lawmakers know that drivers want better roads and increased capacity on state and local roadways. But they don’t know what residents are willing to pay to help build and maintain highways.

With the state in need of more than $240 million a year for road funding, the Joint Transportation Committee is looking at multiple options to help bridge the gap.

One proposal being discussed by the interim panel would increase the state’s fuel tax by 10 cents per gallon. Boosting the current rate from 22 cents per gallon to 32 cents would generate $57 million for the state’s transportation system.

Other options being floated include doubling the annual vehicle registration fee to raise $62 million and increasing the excise tax on vehicles sales by 1 percent to raise $19 million.

Committee members want to get feedback from residents on the options before meeting again Oct. 13 and Oct. 14. At that time, the panel will finalize its recommendations of increases for consideration during the 2010 regular session.

Contact information for members of the Joint Transportation Committee is available here.

Critics of the fuel tax increase say the price at the pump already is too high. They would prefer lawmakers look elsewhere for money. Others are concerned that charging more to license vehicles is too big a blow to consumers.

Advocates for the tax increases say the state is in a no-win situation that lawmakers are trying to figure out how to get out of. Like it or not, something must be done now or roads are going to go from bad to worse. They say that waiting will only make the funding problem worse.

A new law now in effect in Connecticut ends the state’s distinction of being one of the few remaining holdouts from states that require drivers to make room for emergency workers and law enforcement officers.

On Oct. 1, drivers traveling through the Constitution State are required to maintain a safe distance and reduce speed before passing emergency crews, law enforcement, maintenance vehicles and tow trucks parked by the road with lights flashing. Drivers are required to merge into a lane farther away from the designated vehicles, if practical.

The so-called “move over” initiative is designed to protect police and other emergency personnel during roadside stops.

Signs are being posted at entrances into the state to alert drivers of the new law. For a short period, the Connecticut State Police will issue warnings to travelers who do not follow the new rule. After that, offenders would face $92 fines. If injury or death to the emergency vehicle operator occurs, fines would escalate to $2,500 and $10,000, respectively.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, more than 40 states have implemented similar safety zone rules.

Another new rule now in effect in Connecticut is intended to make sure new drivers are ready to make the grade on roadways. Any 16- or 17-year-old prospective driver must pass the “DMV final exam” before gaining their license. It is separate from the 25-question test that teens already must pass when they are trying to obtain a learner’s permit.

Trucking in Massachusetts is getting some attention at the statehouse as bills are drawing consideration to offer an incentive to reduce truck idling and modify the state’s idling restriction.

The Joint Committee on Transportation is looking at increasing the maximum gross vehicle, bridge formula, and axle weight limits for large trucks equipped with idle-reduction technology. Sponsored by Rep. Theodore Speliotis, D-Danvers, the bill – H3334 – would authorize trucks equipped with auxiliary power units to weigh up to an additional 400 pounds.

Supporters say the weight exception removes the disincentive that otherwise would keep truckers from using APUs. They say a reduction of 400 pounds in cargo is a major loss in hauling potential and represents an economic disincentive for using these units.

States were granted federal authority in 2005 to allow heavy-duty trucks to exceed the 80,000-pound maximum weight limit to encourage the use of idling-reduction equipment.

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association has long advocated adoption of the 400-pound exemption.

“It was the intent of Congress that the 400-pound exemption become law in all states,” Joe Rajkovacz, OOIDA’s regulatory affairs specialist told Land Line. “The Association supports the exemption as reasonable because it’s another inducement to install an APU onto your truck.”

About 35 states already offer an incentive to reduce truck idling. States to add the provision this year include Arizona, Maine and Virginia. And a Florida lawmaker has prefiled a bill for consideration during the 2010 regular session to adopt the provision.

The Massachusetts transportation panel also is considering a bill that would modify the state’s idling rule. In most instances, drivers idling their trucks while sleeping or resting would be exempt from the rule.

Massachusetts law now limits idling to no more than five minutes per hour.

Sponsored by Rep. Paul Kujawski, D-Webster, the bill – H3641 – includes a provision that is intended to limit idling while trucks wait to load or unload. Owners of locations served by trucks would be prohibited from causing vehicles to idle for more than 30 minutes while waiting to do business at the location.

The owner or operator of trucks, as well as the owners of locations served by trucks that are found to be in violation, would face fines of at least $100, while repeat offenders would face fines up to $500.

Rajkovacz is encouraged to see there is more recognition that truck drivers do not control all of the reasons they would have to idle. He said motor carriers, shippers and receivers also warrant scrutiny.

“People need to be held accountable for the positions they put drivers in. Only then will you get meaningful change in behavior,” Rajkovacz said. “Drivers cannot be singly the only ones responsible. It is everybody’s responsibility in the supply chain.”

Exceptions would be included for situations when vehicles are stuck in traffic, required by law enforcement to stop, or when idling is necessary to operate defrosters, heaters, air conditioners or other equipment “solely to prevent a safety or health emergency” that is not part of a rest period.

During rest periods and while waiting to load or unload, idling would be allowed for air conditioning or heating purposes.

The bill also specifies that use of auxiliary power units, gen sets or other idle-reduction technologies to provide heat, air or electrical power as an alternative to idling is not included in the restriction.

One other bill of interest is intended to give people a heads up when trucks are backing up. The measure – H3157 – would require that commercial vehicles or trailers weighing more than 7,500 pounds be fitted with an audible warning system.

Violators would face $100 fines.
