Title: ●Low-Speed Vehicles | |
Abstract: The agency is proposing that a new category of motor vehicle be established called "low-speed vehicle." A low-speed vehicle (LSV) would be any motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, whose top speed does not exceed 25 mph. Under a proposed new standard, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 100, LSVs would be equipped with certain basic items of motor vehicle safety equipment, such as seat belts, in lieu of complying with the Federal motor vehicle safety and bumper standards that would apply if the vehicles were categorized according to existing vehicle types. LSVs would also have a label warning against driving them at speeds that exceed 25 mph. | |
