RULES * USA - Drivers adapting to new ones

Highway Patrol issuing only warnings for now for failing to turn on headlights with wipers

Columbus,OH,USA -The Columbus Dispatch, by James Nash -July 19, 2009: -- Starting July 1, truckers got to drive faster on rural interstates, drivers were instructed to move over for stopped tow trucks and other service vehicles, and headlights became a requirement when windshield wipers are running... The new traffic rules haven't resulted in a flurry of enforcement, according to data from the State Highway Patrol, or in any significant change in driver behavior... Sgt. Chip Moser, a 22-year patrol veteran assigned to the West Jefferson post, said he and his colleagues are keeping a close eye on trucks. Although most have boosted their speed since the higher limit took effect, they aren't taking too many liberties, he said... (Photo by SHARI LEWIS/DISPATCH - Ohio increased the speed limit for big rigs on rural interstate highways July 1. Although it's too soon to draw conclusions, the State Highway Patrol has written fewer speeding tickets to truckers than last July)
