Technology has indeed been pretty awesome. I realize that you were being sarcastic, but anti-lock brakes have already saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

And $1500 for a replacement if the anti-lock valve messes up on a Dodge. Now how many persons drive traps because they can not afford newer cars? How many let that Brake warning light stay on for years because they can not scrape up the $1500 for just the part? The brakes work so they drive on. I do myself actually and no I don't wear a seatbelt either. And that valve is a wear item BTW.

How far? How far do we take the Nanny State? Good grief there was posters in this forum cheering on a "you must report your guns stolen law" in Conn signed by a RINODEM governor. Car prices are getting out of reach and to blasted complicated to be worked on as it is. Common sense says the more you add to a machine to more can and will go wrong.

I bet you that insurance companies can prove most accidents involve small red cars or trucks as the drivers are more aggressive. Now what you say we outlaw red cars huh? How about the off gray ones that are hard to see? I want them off the road along with those horrid super bright blue headlights. Where do we stop?

This device is malarkey and I smell an insurance company lobby backing this device as becoming mandatory. It's to cut their loss margins ya know and that is the real backer of this nonsense just like they invade every other part of our life with their mandatory B.S. Nanny Laws! To protect their stinking profits!

You're a lawyer. How many codes and laws including building codes etc are actually written to protect profit losses for insurers? I'd say today 75% of our laws in this nation.

Must every single aspect of our lives now be Mother or rather Big Brother May I? I am disgusted at persons calling themselves Conservative who agree to the stupidity reasoning of liberals ala Hillary Clinton if it saves one life it's worth it mentality for passing still more Nanny Laws in our nation. The M.E. terrorist nor the Chinese aren't going to be our ruin in this nation, it's going to be the Lovers of the Nanny State who think everybody needs a monitor, license, permit, or camera on them 24/7 to save them from themselves or someone else. No Thanks.

= = =

This is such a ragingly hypocritical pile of horse biscuits.

The folks pontificating such rationalizations come across to me as the least responsible, most selfish and most likely to die an early unnecessary death-due-to-irresponsibility of all FREEPERS.

Sad—very sad, that.
