It's ridiculous the same license in the US that allows you to drive a Corolla allows you to drive a race car on the street. With Biden fawning all over sports cars at the Detroit auto show I doubt anything with regards to car regulation will change in the US.
- kube-system 4y agoIt doesn’t really matter what Biden thinks. He has almost zero power over vehicle licensing. The US government doesn’t even license drivers or set traffic laws.
- worldmerge 4y agoHe has control of vehicle regulations though. No one should have race car on street. Race cars should not be able to be driven on the street.
- kube-system 4y agoThe federal government can really only regulate vehicles as far as they can regulate interstate commerce. They can tell automakers what they should make and fine them if they don’t follow those rules (and they sometimes just choose to pay the fines) There are numerous vehicles on dealers lots today that are made in violation of federal requirements. Some are sold as “off road” vehicles. Some luxury and sports cars just flaunt fuel economy requirements and their automakers wrap the fine into the price of the car. What actually is legal to drive on the street is almost 100% up to the states. Many states will allow you to register off road vehicles that don’t meet any federal standards as long as they meet the state’s requirements for roadworthiness. The states can and do put a license plate on whatever they want.
