In her March 14, 2013 testimony before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Anne Ferro admits that the HOS rules have no bearing on safety.

On the one hand, Anne Ferro says:

Yet, on the other hand, and in almost the same breath, she goes on to request that states take 'immediate action' to provide "regulatory relief" in the form of HOS exemption in the case of agricultural operations:

So, Anne, which is it - Are fatalities acceptable if they occur as a result of a fatigued driver causing a crash while transporting agricultural commodities and farm supplies, or is the real truth that the HOS regulations have no real effect when it comes to transportation safety?

I'm waiting for your answer to this question, Anne.

I'm all for improving government like the French did circa 1789-93 marching all the politicians up the steps and remove the heads. Would be a good start and have all lawyers take an oath of poverty and humility.
