A recently retired FMCSA engineer calls the result disappointing, but not unexpected. Luke Loy, who retired in June after 33 years with the U.S. Department of Transportation, both with FMCSA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)-and whose name is on FMCSA's Oct. 7,2022 denial, as well as multiple parts and accessories exemptions the agency granted over the last several years-insists California's long-standing vehicle code that permits flashing stop lamps on any motor vehicle is all the evidence Intellistop needed to present to establish FMCSA's ruling was "arbitrary and capricious." Unfortunately, he lamented, that wasn't part of the legal team's argument. "It would have been nice if the court had overturned the decision, but the way [Intellistop president Michelle Hanby's] lawyers made their case isn't necessarily the way I would have made it," he told Bulk Transporter. |
