Commercial vehicles gain camera alternatives to mirrors

Wisconsin allows commercial vehicle owners and operators to use camera monitor systems instead of required rearview mirrors. This applies to commercial motor vehicles defined in 49 CFR 390.5. The system must have a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration exemption from 49 CFR 393.80(a). Alternatively, it must be approved under 49 CFR 393.80 or federal motor vehicle safety standards.
