392.2-FYR Citation: What Happens Next

No. Our inspection records show a 0.0% out-of-service rate for 392.2-FYR violations across all time. This code is not OOS eligible, meaning even if cited, you are not required to stop operations immediately. However, the citation still carries a CSA severity weight of 5 points, which affects your safety score in the BASIC 1 (Unsafe Driving) category.

This violation carries a CSA severity weight of 5 points. That weight is applied to your safety score within a 30-day rolling window—meaning all citations you receive within any single month are tallied together, then multiplied by the severity weight. A single 392.2-FYR citation contributes 5 points to your BASIC 1 (Unsafe Driving) category score, which FMCSA uses in CSA scoring.

First: document the citation details and the traffic circumstances. Second: request a copy of the inspection report from the officer or agency. Third: review the traffic laws that apply in that jurisdiction—yield-right-of-way citations hinge on local traffic code interpretation. Fourth: notify your fleet safety manager or company immediately. Fifth: consider consulting a traffic attorney if you believe the citation was issued in error, as challenging documentation-based violations through DataQs is possible if supporting evidence contradicts the finding.

Compared to related unsafe driving codes in our database, 392.2-FYR is rare. The peer codes we track in the same Unsafe Driving category—such as 392.2 (Operating a CMV while ill or fatigued) with 1,208,164 all-time citations and a 0.8% OOS rate—show far higher enforcement volume. However, the 5-point severity weight on 392.2-FYR is proportional to other driving behavior violations and directly impacts your CSA BASIC 1 score.

Yes, you can request a DataQs (Request for Reconsideration of Records) review through FMCSA if you have evidence that contradicts the inspection finding. Since 392.2-FYR is a behavior-based citation (not equipment or document failure), success depends on documentation—dash cam footage, witness statements, or evidence that local traffic conditions made the maneuver lawful. Your motor carrier or attorney can file the DataQs; FMCSA reviews and either upholds or removes the record.

The urgency is moderate. While 392.2-FYR does not trigger an out-of-service order, it immediately impacts your CSA BASIC 1 score, which can affect your carrier's safety ratings, insurance costs, and hiring prospects. Across our 13 million+ inspection records, we have recorded zero citations for 392.2-FYR in the last 90 days, indicating this is an uncommon violation. However, any unsafe driving citation should be reviewed carefully and addressed through proper documentation and compliance.

It follows both. FMCSA's CSA scoring system attributes unsafe driving violations to the individual driver's record and to the carrier's overall safety profile. The citation will appear in your driver qualification file and in your carrier's SMS (Safety Management System) data, which regulators, auditors, and insurers can access. This is why prompt documentation and potential contestation matters for both your career and your company's DOT ratings.
