Out of respect of the PW member that sent this to me via email, I will leave their name out.
However, I learned something if its true that I think should be shared with all and I thank this person for enlightening me on something I didn't really think about....However, the more I think about it...the more it makes some sense.
....The manufactures! The auto industry itself is secretly pushing for such legislation. They want the government to tell them what they must do. If government tells them to do A or B and later it turns out to be ineffective, the finger gets pointed to government, not the manufactures. They don#146;t want to decide what#146;s best, they want to be told. Manufactures had sat and talked to the various groups, (blind, cyclist, walkers) and although they didn#146;t admit anything wrong with the cars, they were willing to keep an open mind if government said there was an issue. Hence the backroom push to get something mandated by government.
