Cameras can replace mirrors on commercial trucks

In Wisconsin, commercial motor vehicles can use a camera monitor system instead of side mirrors. The system must be covered by a federal exemption from the mirror rule or be approved under federal rules or safety standards. This applies even though state and federal rules normally require mirrors. The law does not force anyone to switch; it only allows approved systems.
