In the news: NHTSA requests comments on newly proposed amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 that would permit the certification of adaptive driving beam headlighting systems. Officials at DOT may be changing their position about the moratorium on issuing new waivers for autonomous shuttles to operate in the U.S., following several deadly crashes involving self-driving vehicles and pressure from government watchdog groups. NTSB recommended that NHTSA develop a common standard of practice for drug toxicology testing, including the circumstances under which tests should be conducted, a minimum set of drugs for which to test, and cutoff values for reporting the results.

On October 17, 2018, recreational cannabis became legal in Canada. Subject to provincial or territorial restrictions, adults who are 18 years of age or older are legally able to possess up to 30 grams of legal cannabis, buy cannabis products from a provincially-licensed retailer, and grow up to four cannabis plants per residence for personal use. For fleet managers, it should be paramount to inform employees of both the new law and restrictions, especially around impaired driving.
