I bet you that its UTV OEMs lobbying to have em shut down more than anything else.

“Also, bear in mind that a car going 5 mph under the speed limit is more likely to cause a crash than a car going 5 mph over.”

I spy some suspects:

Why do they care so much? and no it’s not safety, because if it was, ban Motorcycles. But they won’t, so there has to be some money trail involved, or maybe they really are just a bunch of retired Karens. And what exactly is a “Non Traditional Vehicle”? Kei cars seems to fit this bill in the law:

I would much rather drive one of these adorable little guys than the massive monster trucks that have far less actual utility that are currently clogging up US roadways.

This organization tried to pull this stunt in MA, as noted. But MA citizens pushed back and Kei’s are now allowed in MA.

I can’t help but think there’s an ulterior motive here, though I have yet to find a direct link to a big corporate sponsor who would benefit from no Kei cars being on the road. Why not go after motorcycles, if this is all about safety? Surely there’s no debate that a Kei car is far safer than a motorcycle.

The 25 year rule doesn’t exist for safety or emissions, it’s because importing “grey market” cars from Europe was so lucrative a business in the 70s and 80s that the dealership lobby paid off Washington to make it illegal. 

Import age rules for private citizens are dumb. Let people bring in whatever deathtrap they want so long it won’t kill anyone else and doesn’t roll coal. An S4 wagon isn’t going to hurt anyone.

We should have pretty strict size restrictions on how big civilian vehicles can be. Trucks these days can’t even fit to established parking spaces. They block other vehicles’ sight lines on the road, they are unable to see pedestrians or other obstacles and hazards over their massive hoods, and their overcompensating…

Yeah I thought it was fishy too. My guess is the “Global EV Drivers Alliance” is a community of people who are pretty into their EVs....

Oh bless your heart (jokes!)

So the ONLY way this works is if you have a human sitting there watching the entire drive from start to finish, apparently with their hands on a game controller style steering wheel and feet on game controller pedals, basically doing nothing but looking at a screen for, what musk hopes, is the vast majority of the…

1st gear: Where will these “drivers” be located in? I assume First Lady Musk won’t hire American employees for that. Imagine some guy in India (nothing against people in India) try to take control of a car driving in Massachusetts on the Pike at 5pm. Only Massachusetts drivers know the unwritten and unspoken rules and…

If only there was a way to permanently silence that loudmouth fuckstain in charge of Tesla...

Sign me up, on your paper form!

i hit it accidental in a rental, then tried to cancel by going the other way only to experience what you did. many times.
on the bright side, the person behind me gave me lots of room. “what is that idiot doing?”

Seconded. I dislike this feature and its inability to be cancelled. 

Fellow BMW driver and steadfast turn signal user here, and I have three points to make

Those BMW turn signals are still trash, because it’s easy to accidentally hit the three-click signal and it isn’t intuitive to cancel it. You might think that you turn it the other way to cancel the three clicks, right? Dead wrong chief - that just turns on three clicks the OTHER way. The actual way to cancel it is to…
