How does a manufacturer enforce the use of a device in that way?
- mint2 3y agoVerify their distributors are doing some sort of due diligence? Doesn’t seem that hard to make some sort of reasonable effort.
- 13of40 3y agoIs the rule really about "track use" or is it just off-road or on-private-property use? How does the distributor know I'm not just rolling coal on my uncle's farm?
- Scoundreller 3y agoFrom what I can find, "track use" isn't in the law, but rather a matter of enforcement discretion. "The Clean Air Act does not contemplate removing emissions controls from an EPA-certified motor vehicle in order to convert it into a competition vehicle. As a matter of enforcement discretion, the EPA’s longstanding practice has been not to take enforcement action against vehicle owners for removing or defeating the emission controls of their EPA-certified motor vehicles, so long as they can show the vehicles are used solely for competition events and no longer driven on public roads." https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a36482793/sema-epa-coming-for-your-race-car/ https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a36482793/sema-e...

- nikau 3y agoMan I wish they would do that here for all the "offroad use only" aftermarket LED bulbs that idiots stuff into non projector lenses.
