Had not realized this was a legal requirement south of the border. It explains why more of our vehicles have it than they used to, though it isn't a requirement up here.

I don't think it's a bad thing, since most owners don't pay their vehicle any attention, let alone checking tire pressure. Out to prevent the average joe from pissing away fuel needlessly because they're driving around on under-inflated tires.

It is sad that people need these aids though...and that they have to be forced on them. People as a whole are irresponsible.
