Rulemakers consider new truck pedal designs Rulemakers consider new truck pedal designs, interlock device Quote: WASHINGTON -- American truck regulators are considering a proposal to require trucks with automatic transmissions and buses to have installed technology that prevents unintended acceleration. The National Transportation Safety Board says it's concerned over incidents involving drivers who press down on the accelerator instead of, or in addition to, the brake pedal and asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to write up a rule. It wants NHTSA to require the installation of brake transmission shift interlock systems (BTSI) in newly manufactured heavy vehicles with auto transmissions and other transmissions susceptible to unintended acceleration associated with pedal misapplication when starting from a parked position. more here>> Rulemakers consider new truck pedal designs, interlock device __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us

What a dumb thing. People press the gas instead of the brake because they are impared or should not be driving in the first place. You know the difference between brake and gas. Also the trouble is some people use the right foot on the gas and the left foot on the brake. Too lazy to move their right foot.

Hmmm..... Looks like government is making new regs for Obama's "Change"... The plan is to fire or make it harder for drivers who can fog up a mirror...then hire droolers to drive for zilch......... That's what "Change" is all about...scrapping the bottom of the barrel and putting them to work..... __________________ A Patriot's Dream Come True.......Beauty, Brains, And Conservative......

I use my right foot on both pedals. They better not move them, that's why I hate volvos. __________________ The best way to rob a bank is to own one.
