lets look at that example. Ford passed a flawed government test that allowed them to drop tire pressures to an unsafe level to pass the test. This portrayed the explorer to be safer than it really is.

Now lets see ..... Compact cars are allowed to pass an unrealistic crash test and claim they are safer than they really are.


You are saying people who knowingly buy a top heavy vehicle have no reason to gripe when it rolls over on them.

So then people who buy a small car should have no reason to gripe when they are hit by an SUV.
