Denial of Petition for Rulemaking; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Özet

This document denies Mr. Alan F. Van Horen's petition to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment, to permit an exterior lamp that would be a visual indicator that the vehicle is in its cruise control mode. The petition provided no information to support the petitioner's contention that an exterior lamp showing when a vehicle's cruise control was engaged would enhance safety, nor does NHTSA's experience and judgment suggest any safety benefits from such a lamp.
