Dang, I'm usually on top of the news but I missed seeing this one. If this has been posted please remove.
According to an article written by former U.S. Representative Bob Barr, hidden away in the recently passed infrastructure bill, the very one I warned before would negatively impact drivers across the country if it were to pass, is a measure to install vehicle kill switches into every new car, truck, and SUV sold in this country. The regulation likely won’t be enforced for five years, so maybe there’s time to do something about this.
As we’ve seen both in this country and others recently, what constitutes “law-abiding” can change drastically overnight. For example, in September a car was pulled over in New Zealand and the occupants arrested when police discovered the trunk was full of Kentucky Fried Chicken meals. They were smuggling the fast food to customers in locked-down Auckland, against quarantine measures. Yet not too long before, delivering restaurant orders to people was considered a reputable, legal activity.

I know the feeling...best of luck to you.
Until the wound vac is deemed unneeded and I cleared to drive, they are somewhere else close by.

In a way I would love to it on one of those rebuild shows but for many reasons I’d have to pass.

The hell you say. I control the kill switch in mine.

Agree.
Sickening, what we are witnessing.
Take me back to 1968.
This is total BS.
This kill switch law is unconstitutional simply because it pretends ttoohave the right prevent freedom of travel and freedom of assembly.
Imagine having Trump supporters all have their vehicle shut down on the way to a Trump rally because the DOJ and the FBI decleares MAGA domestic terrorists?
NO.
