Warning: The Laws Are Changing For Transporting...

Did you know there are still some people who do not know that congress is changing how we transport?

Business at hand, the senate approved a $122 billion bill to fund transportation and housing projects for FY 2010; however, now the bill must go to Senate and House conferees to compromise separate versions of the bill.
Cut and dry, on Sept. 17 Senators voted 73-25 to allocate money for transportation, housing and urban development until October 2010. The clock is ticking, for the current fiscal year expires on Oct.1.
Figure it out, the bill includes allowing a pilot program to exempt Maine's Interstate highway system from the current federal truck weight limit. Currently, trucks weighing up to 100,000 pounds can use Interstate 95, designated as the Main Turnpike and running from the Main New Hampshire border to Augusta. But the Maine Turnpike designation ends at Augusta. I-95 proceeds another 200 miles north to Houlton, so heavy truck drivers are forced onto secondary roads. Now in just one fell swoop, these truckers forced onto secondary roads could possibly be fined.
All in due time, the bill's Senate report on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration notes safety has been improved, but much still needs to be done in this area and in oversight. It relied on reports from the transportation department's Office of Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office and the National Transportation Safety Board. Kporchhaulling

Safety tip of the day: asleep at the wheel, few people understand how far a vehicle can travel in a second at typical city driving speeds. If you add the time it takes for the average driver to perceive and respond to a danger (1.6 seconds) to the second the driver's attention was diverted you'll come up with the following distances a vehicle will travel at the following listed speeds:
1. 20 MPH-76 feet (approximately 5 car lengths)
2. 30 MPH-114 feet (approximately 8 car lengths)
3. 40 MPH-152 feet (approximately 10 car lengths)
And these distances do not include the time it takes for the car to actually stop. Kporchhaulling
