Grant of Applications of Three Motorcycle Manufacturers for Temporary Exemptions and Renewal of Temporary Exemptions From Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 123
Tradução automática local · Idioma original da fonte
Resumo
This notice grants the applications by three motorcycle manufacturers (Honda, Piaggio, and Yamaha) for temporary exemptions, and renewal of temporary exemptions, from a provision in the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on motorcycle controls and displays specifying that a motorcycle rear brake, if provided, must be controlled by a right foot control. We are permitting each manufacturer to use the left handlebar as an alternative location for the rear brake control. Each applicant has asserted that "compliance with the standard would prevent the manufacturer from selling a motor vehicle with an overall level of safety at least equal to the overall safety level of nonexempt vehicles."
