Unit 5302, why is this a political debate? Can't you just accept that sometimes you have to do what you can and is reasonable to save lives?

In responce to your analogy about steering/suspension components on a 100k mi/km car... there are laws for that. You cannot drive an unsafe vehicle at any point- not just when you transfer ownership I.e. A saftey.

As well- there are laws about careless driving I.e. Street racing. If all the ricers and street racers would stick to industrial roads on weekends or backroads in the country instead of during traffic and in residential streets- then they wouldn't have brough street racing into the lime light and therfore not be an issue.

Does your city/county/town/province/state have RIDE programs? Where a line of cops funnel traffic to check for DWI's on a Friday night? Is that a political agenda also?

Anytime that pressure gets put on street racing in any form, it's a good idea. You never know- it may be your mom/father/daughter/son/BEST FRIEND that gets killed. Don't say it will never happen (Famous last words, my friend)

To also respond on legislating/controlling anything fun/semi-dangerous... wake up and look around. People NEED a babysitter cause they can't 1)control the circumstances 2)take responsibility 3)respect others.

I'm not saying all 100% of people need a leash, but even if only 10% do- that is worth having the law look out for the rest of the 90%
