The HOS rules attempt to cover every possible fringe case
of driver fatigue at the expense of simple, easy to follow
rules that every driver can understand. Where are the
studies that show each type of accumulated fatigue and its
calculated frequency on overall crash rates?
FMCSA may find that 95% of fatigue related crashes are
covered by a simpler HOS rule set and that compliance
with a simpler rule set would more than compensate for the
fringe case scenarios covered by more complicate rule
sets. Simple rules that are easy to understand will minimize
confusion and stress and raise voluntary compliance.
