Will government take the liability for a mechanical failure? Of course not. Government has no interest in keeping you or I safe nor does it take upon itself any liability for failing to doing so. Its reason for such things have as much to do with safety as military operations in Libya have to do with humanitarian purposes. The state of Illinois has no vehicle inspections. Yet equipment failures don't appear to be any significant issue what so ever. Nor do insurance companies, the ones who would pay out, require them for a policy. |

Nah, they should to keep the Junior Dale Earnhardts from causing problems. Just because you can drive fast, doesn't mean you *CAN* drive fast. Just watch the next time a Honda Civic with a fart horn pulls up next to you to get my drift. Hey...Hachiroku...Drift...Way Kewl, dude! |
