So you are making an opinion call. No law to back it up. Yet you said you'd hand out a warning make someone change it to suit your opinion. And you accuse DOT of making stuff up? FYI- DOT (actual trained DOT cops) use the FMCSR and State V+T Law work within the law. The FMCSR rules committee that actually produces the "DOT Laws" is made up of trucking industry representatives, LE and career political appointees. There are reams and reams of paperwork behind every law or rule and yes, the rules are updated over time to reflect changing technology and real life experience on the road. It can be confusing which is why there is so much training involved and why we spent so much time trying to keep truckers up dated on changes and why we handed out "fix it tickets" for the simple stuff rather than pounding some guy who was trying to do it right, but just needed a little help.
Opinion isn't law and you would have been doing exactly what you accuse DOT of doing (which would be illegal) by making someone change something the law doesn't require or even address.
