Unsafe cars may get a safety warning just like tobacco has, maybe with some nice pictures to boot.

I can go buy a car right now with no airbags, 3-point belts, crash bars, ABS, traction control, etc and legally drive it, even with minors in the car. Health insurance rates won't be affected. I can turn around and sell it too.
The car will be 50 years old, but still perfectly legal.
On the other hand, import cars that don't meet the safety standards and they will be seized (and probably crushed) by the Federal Government.:

It's a crazy place we live in.
