My major problem with all the "safety" measures on vehicles, besides the unintended consequences as described by
@rwthomas1, is the concept that anyone, or anything, or any government, is ultimately responsible for our personal safety.
I'm just old enough and ornery enough to remember the USA was founded on individual LIBERTIES, and accordingly, individual RESPONSIBILITIES. I resent uninvited intrusion in my business, and my life, and my liberties by anyone, particularly government, to include unelected bureaucrats AND elected office-holders.
The hypocrisy is blatant and offensive, to wit: legal cigarettes, illegal-sized soft drinks, in some states legal recreational pharmaceuticals to include freaking heroin, abortion on demand, fast-food restaurants, and on and on and on.
So which is it -- are we allowed to abuse ourselves if we wish, and face the consequences, or is it the government that is so compassionate about ensuring - nay, MANDATING we all must live in the healthiest environment imaginable, in all aspects of our lives?
Why the disconnect?
It's all about taking power, and CONTROLLING others.
