According to Mark Abrahamson, a 27-year veteran of the Wisconsin State Patrol states, \u201cThe following are driving behaviors or situations that \u201cstood out\u201d from the norm. Not every violation mentioned below necessarily results in a citation, but it will, at a minimum, be a reason for a traffic stop and a possible warning.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Following too close<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reaction time for a driver is less than 2 seconds for driver to see, acknowledge, and act by steering or braking to avoid a crash. When trucks are following less than a truck length behind another. More distance is needed to just fulfill the perception and reaction time, and to meet most states\u2019 following distance laws.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Speeding<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Speed is typically linked to following to close. If the driver \u201cgave reason\u201d for the traffic stop, it\u2019s now an opportunity to review the driver\u2019s credentials and the vehicle\u2019s equipment.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Lane deviations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Significant deviations raise concerns relating to the driver\u2019s possible illness, fatigue, or impairment. Typically, once it\u2019s observed that it was not simply a \u201cpush of the wind,\u201d officers will initiate a traffic stop for deviation.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Inattentiveness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Observation of a truck that is approaching a lane closure or traffic stop at a high speed and the driver takes an aggressive crash avoidance action. These drivers are of high concern to be stopped for illness or fatigue. They demonstrate a threat to themselves or others.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Improper load securement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            When equipment is loaded on a flatbed, it\u2019s clearly in plain view, and securement methods, number of devices, and general condition can be freely observed. Any observed deficiency will result in a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Use of handheld phone<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              If this action is observed you will be pulled over. The concern relates back to attentiveness and the driver\u2019s ability to respond quickly if crash avoidance is required.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Lighting violations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Lighting violations would be avoided with a proper pre-trip and post-trip inspection. The frequent observation of lighting devices and replacement lenses\/bulbs carried on the trucks would reduce chances of being pulled over.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Improper registration or credential display<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  This is a reason to initiate a traffic stop. A CMV officer will at a minimum conduct a Level 3 inspection in this situation. As an officer is walking back and forth, he or she is taking a close look at the equipment, and if a violation is observed it will be upgraded to a Level 2 inspection.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Overweight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    With the increase of mainline high-speed virtual weigh-in-motion systems, the efficiency of this enforcement strategy has increased carrier contacts for violations. The system screens CMVs and highlights violators.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Failure to obey official traffic signs or signals<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Related to overweight violations is overlooking posted signs for weight limitations. Penalties will be implemented if postings are disregarded, misread or misjudged. Also, failing to follow a state\u2019s lane restriction guidance such as \u201call trucks use right lane.\u201d<\/p>\n
