How can you be on a car site and not know about NHTSA or Transport Canada… I mean they don’t even let you keep using wrong way facing headlights on RHD imports… require multiple submissions of vehicles for crash testing before approval… recalls for harmful or serious build errors… pop up headlights are gone because of pedestrian safety rules. Heck, you can’t even buy the top model Camaro in Europe because it has CF canards on the front and they say it can slice a persons leg.

Could go on and on for days how much intervention the governments of many countries make. Car manufacturers wouldn’t put shit into their cars if they didn’t have to. They don’t want to put expensive materials in to lighten them after safety features bogged them down or develop new engines that don’t kill the environment and meet emissions standards etc etc
