Initial Thought on EOBR Mandate

I read this rulemaking more carefully, and my first thought is, “It’s a ridiculous, unwarranted intrusion into private business, which has nothing to do with safety”. That was my first thought. Here is the money quote from the rulemaking itself, on page 40:

“The Agency is currently unable to evaluate the extent to which the proposed changes to the supporting documents requirements will lead to reductions in crashes”.

In other words, they have no idea if this will reduce crashes or not. Furthermore, they have no idea if this will increase crashes. Nor do they care. More on this later.
