Living in Texas, we have several new transportation related regulations that came in effect on Sept 1. New car seat laws as well as these trucking related changes. The bad news is that TxDOT nor the EPS / Dept of Motor Vehicles made the public aware of these changes.
We happened on the car seat rules by attending the Disney Train event with my granddaughters. With all the TV, publicity ads and billboards these groups display; they easily could have made these changes knows to all Texans as well as the traveling public. It will be imposed upon everyone and is only fair we all be notified.
I really appreciate your post and sharing of this info. It is important facts we all need to know.
