NTEA recently released a test manual and kit to provide guidance in meeting the field of view requirements in the new rear visibility portion of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111. These field of view rules, applicable to vehicles with a 10,000-lb. gross vehicle weight rating or less, will phase in for previously compliant vehicles that are altered starting May 1, 2017. Full compliance for all regulated vehicles is mandatory by May 1, 2018.
