Highway Safety Acquiring a Enhance, Sleepy Truckers Getting the Boot

Columbia, SC (PRWEB) June 28, 2013

The U.S. Division of Transportations Federal Motor Carrier Security Administration (FMCSA) has revised the hours-of-service (HOS) safety specifications for commercial truck drivers (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/rulemakings/final/HOS-Final-Rule-12-27-11.pdf). Columbia private injury attorney Bert Louthian says the new rules, which take effect July 1, 2013, will make the roadways safer by limiting the number of hours a fatigued driver can stay behind the wheel or on duty.

&#13

HOS guidelines have been in location given that 1939 and went virtually unchanged for much more than 60 years. The most recent version is the most stringent however, requiring a driver to take at least a 30-minute break every single eight consecutive hours. Drivers are permitted to drive 11 hours within a period of 14 consecutive hours, but following 11 hours of driving, the driver must be off duty for ten consecutive hours before once more taking the wheel.

&#13

There is also a new weekly limit. Beneath the old rule, truck drivers could perform on average up to 82 hours within a seven-day period. Starting July 1, total on-duty time is limited to 60 hours in each 7-day period or 70 hours in 8 days, with the new week starting following the driver has 34 consecutive off-duty hours. This is identified as the 34-hour restart. Importantly, the restart period should consist of at least two off-duty periods amongst 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

&#13

FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro mentioned in a press release, With robust input from all places of the trucking neighborhood, coupled with the newest scientific study, we carefully crafted a rule acknowledging that when truckers are rested, alert and focused on safety, it tends to make our roadways safer. (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/guidelines-regulations/subjects/hos/statement.aspx)

&#13

Statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board show that driver error is the top trigger of huge truck accidents. In truth, the agency found that fatigue alone was accountable for up to 40 percent of all truck accidents. As a truck accident lawyer, Louthian said, I know how catastrophic the injuries can be when a passenger vehicle is struck by an 18-wheeler. Drowsy driving is dangerous for anybody, but when an 80,000-pound truck is barreling down the highway beneath the control of a sleepy driver who is trying to meet a delivery deadline, the hazard is especially alarming.

&#13

Trucking businesses say the new HOS limits are unnecessarily burdensome and will boost the expense of transporting goods. But the penalties attached for noncompliance are stiff: Trucking organizations that let drivers to exceed the 11-hour driving limit by three or much more hours could be fined $ 11,000 per offense, and the drivers themselves could face civil penalties of up to $ 2,750 for every single offense.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 07, 2013

The Guardian newspaper in London Wednesday night reported that the National Security Agency has long collected phone records from some one hundred million Verizon clients in the United States. The secret court order that allowed the NSA to get that, according to documents obtained by the Guardian, requires the phone company to hand the info more than to the NSA on an ongoing, everyday basis. The order covered international calls, as effectively as communications inside the United States, and customers were not conscious of it till the Guardian story was published.

What tends to make this news doubly distressing is that it comes to U.S. citizens from an overseas news source on practically specifically the anniversary of the day that the U.K. and the U.S., with each other with other allies, launched the D-Day invasion of Normandy to restore freedom to Europe.

&#13

The truth that this is a bipartisan difficulty extending across administrations is further proof, if any have been required, that energy tends to corrupt and absolute energy corrupts definitely, and that those who would trade liberty for security will quickly uncover that they have neither. All in all, this is a sad, sad way to commemorate one of the world’s most crucial anniversaries in the annals of freedom.

Need to we be shocked at this news when the U.S. Supreme Court has just declared police could make the DNA of persons who have been convicted of practically nothing government property, potentially to be kept forever? When we have not too long ago noticed the Boston metropolitan region place beneath martial law and entire families dragged out of their residences at gunpoint by males dressed in military garb and backed up by armored vehicles and helicopters? When millions of travelers are subjected to virtual strip searches and physical groin gropes just to board a plane?

The audacity of monitoring everyone’s phone calls in hopes of catching a little number of terrorists demonstrates the unconstitutionality and self-contradiction at the heart of mass government surveillance. There is no probable lead to for which to search any distinct individual’s get in touch with records, merely a probability that somebody, somewhere used a phone to assist in the preparing or commission of a crime. This reasoning nullifies the Fourth Amendment, the very point of which is that government can not search or seize ‘persons, houses, papers, and effects’ at random.

The recent Obama administration attacks on personal liberties are frightening and lengthy: surveillance of the emails and phone records of journalists the IRS debacle the Benghazi scandal and cover-up drones and the National Defense Authorization Act that permits any person the government doesnt like to be held indefinitely, including U.S. citizens arrested on American soil. And now we discover of another attack on our liberty.

&#13

This action by the NSA, which possesses the most sophisticated array of gear and scientific personnel to listen to whomever it desires to, proves that the Obama administration is carrying out a plan of change you can believe in. Our Constitution is openly and brazenly violated and it reminds me of how Russians, Chinese, Cubans, and several a lot of other people lost their freedom and paid dearly with tens of millions of innocent lives.

The bigger the amount of irrelevant data, the less difficult to hide factors that may well be essential. Monitoring everyone diverts focus from what may possibly be a genuine threat.

Our constitutional liberties are practically unbounded. The government’s capacity to infringe upon them is certain, delineated and delimited. Therefore the government’s all-encompassing, boundless data grab from (at least) Verizon is an egregious assault on the individuals.

&#13

The government wants to get certain court permission for certain, finite information. They need to not ask for or be granted such blanket, open-ended data-grab authority. That they asked for and received permission for data-grab authority in advance of the grab on an ongoing, rolling basis is worse still.

&#13

This is just the most recent example but maybe the worst of the Obama administration’s complete disregard for the Constitution and the freedoms from government overreach it guarantees us. Here’s hoping the gorgeous totality of all we’ve lost will trigger us to rise up and demand that it all be restored.

This report validates the unheeded warnings of skeptics at the time the Patriot Act was drafted that rather than employ the law to investigate and quit genuine terrorist threats, the government would use it as a giant fishing net to gather as a lot details as it could about citizens as they go about their company, no matter whether or not they are beneath suspicion. That is specifically what’s occurred.

There is totally no justification or rationale for this unprecedented level of surveillance on millions of ordinary Americans. The FBI and NSA should suspend the FISA order quickly. Further, this abuse of power need to give Congress the impetus t
