True. Also, why do we need those seat-belts and airbags and all that stuff that prevents cars from rolling over? Sheesh, what a waste of money? And what about safety glass in windscreesn? Who needs that? Why not use normal glass that shards? And why not bring back fins on cars? /sarc

There are sensible safety requirements like safety glass, front impact airbags, and seat belts, because they affect all occupants of every car.

Then, there are nanny-state safety requirements like child seat anchors and glow-in-the-dark trunk releases that cost everyone money and benefit few.

Can you see the difference?

I’m not calling for anarchy where every car bursts into flames on contact. I just want to pay for the features I need.

As for “the stuff that prevents cars from rolling over”, that stuff is between the driver’s ears. It seems that some cars have more of that than others.
