Gee, 16 pages.
Safety's fine, government mandated safety sucks, but only because it's mandated. Some safety mandates are counterproductive, where safety is concerned, but they continue on because when the rulers command, the peons obey. My ***** (besides lawyer-proofing the cars with asinine warnings like the ones on my visor) is head restraints. I wonder how many accidents were caused because of poor visibility, which was not a problem at all in the '60's. I'm not saying head restraints are worthless, but I wonder what the tradeoff is and wish it was regulated by market pressures.
Oh, one other thing, the cost of all these mandates put automotive travel out of the reach of at least some people who otherwise would be able to do it. Air bags don't come cheap.
