Podcast: OOIDA – require reporting on autonomous vehicles
OOIDA wants NHTSA to require greater transparency regarding autonomous vehicles instead of voluntary reporting of testing and other issues. Also, CVSA has compiled a list of what constitutes a great truck driver – and it plans to honor one trucker with a special award. Then, should a trucker ask law enforcement for a ticket instead of a warning? That raises a lot of questions. We’ll get some answers from Road Law. And for years, states have slowly but surely moved away from split speed limits. Now, one state is considering legislation to create a new one.

OOIDA: Require reporting on autonomous vehicles
Voluntary reporting is not the safe way to go when it comes to autonomous vehicles. OOIDA is calling on NHTSA to require greater transparency. Mark Schremmer of Land Line Magazine joins Land Line Now to give us the latest on the issue.
CVSA will honor a driver for excellence
What constitutes a great truck driver? What are the characteristics that define that term? CVSA has compiled a list, and based on that, it honors one driver every year for excellence. It’s called the International Driver Excellence Award, and nominations are now being accepted. Rodolfo Giacoman of CVSA discusses the award and what’s involved – and offers some information about past winners.
A ticket instead of a warning? Maybe, maybe not
