The NHTSA is regulating all the wrong things. How many people have been killed by wrong headlight shape? How would you even test that regulation? Meanwhile, people are free to go 100mph in cities, with the trivially demonstrable deaths that causes for no upside.
- autoexec 4y ago> How many people have been killed by wrong headlight shape? Hopefully very few because standards keep ineffective or dangerous designs off the road. As for testing, they have that very well covered. https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/laboratory-test-procedure-fmvss-108-lamps-reflective-devices-and-associated-equipment https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/laboratory-test-procedure-fmv... They could regulate cars to make sure they're incapable of going faster than a certain speed, but people seem to want faster and faster cars for some reason and I'm guessing most accidents aren't happening at > 100mph speeds
