I hope an attorney picks this up quick this has to be a rights violation. It's no one's business what I'm doing inside of this cab

[@tripletray3]

This so stupid I see more cars texting and driving than I see trucks sound like a money ploy to me

[@Swoop180]

Tell me about it, I've been O.T.R. for 32 years and am sick and tired of losing my freedoms. I'm about ready to hang it up and start slinging dope. Let the youngsters have the road, that'll make them a hell of a lot safer.

[@jamiewellman6986]

They can't get 5 grand out of a car for texting and driving

[@Michael-kf6bc]

I’m all for safe travel. But on the flip side of this coin. More cameras means more control over the people. In the not to distant future this whole country will be under surveillance. Like that movie with Jim Carrey The Truman show. The end game is all about control.

[@rongrimes5613]

How about the idiots in cars that sit still when lights turn green, because they are texting

[@Swoop180]

Why only target commercial drivers? Any vehicle where the operator is distracted can cause a TC.

[@dannydanny1034]

because commercial drivers is more money

[@psychotrucker9880]

Money

[@Swoop180]

@@psychotrucker9880 Rhetorical question.

[@SL-lu3sw]

No, you don’t have to be in the sleeper birth for 10 hours. 8 hours shown on your log is sufficient. Either way, you can be off duty for 10 hours and drive. It’s not their business what you did on your time off. But, it’s probably prudent to go ahead and put 8 hours in your sleeper birth. That way there aren’t questions.

[@novadark1]

a.i always needs a i.t guy to fix it and all it takes is a glitch to falsely pull you over ,so ai traffic stops is really really stupid, imagine driving undistracted not on your phone and suddenly you get pulled over for being on your phone while driving, not to mention how dumb the damn city white collars are to spend 400000$$on something that I garentee won't help the future!! ridiculous !!if you are worried about taxes then brace yourself because that will for shure spike it !!!!

Thank you

Its about time they started cracking down on private vehicles to. I was driving since 1978 and private vehicles have just gotten worse and worse for abusing the rules of the road

[@middlelanemarco9701]

Commercial drivers are a very small percentage of drivers being the problem.

[@psychotrucker9880]

More government control. I see police driving talking on the phone a lot. Give them a ticket too.

[@ChesterRingtail]

Ok, good to know, countermeasures activated

[@imo8249]

Another money grab.

[@cowboykody6775]

We already are under constant surveiliance. We have the internet now. The military/government had the internet in the 1960's. Guess what the Government/military has now? It will scare you.

[@blackcloud332]

Why not extort 4 wheelers?
