For example, not that it was mentioned in the article, but lots of research and regulation go into hood design to minimize pedestrian injury in an unfortunate collision or reduce additional risks such as being pulled under the hood or exposed sharp point. Except the sharp edges, neither apply for motorcycles, but which have their own, unique safety requirements. And there could be hundreds of other examples I’m unaware of. That’s sort of why we have a government organization such as a DMV.
As far as I’m aware the US doesn’t have any(or at least not many) pedestrian safety standards. That’s actually the reason the Cybertruck isn’t sold in Europe, it didn’t meet Euro pedestrian standards. I mean just look at the fucking thing, it’s all sharp edges and corners lol
The DMV has zero bearing on vehicle safety. They’re only denying and trying to revoke legally issued registrations. So your makeshift argument is moot. You’re trying to say the registrable F150 is more pedestrian safe than a Daihatsu Hi-Jet………which is definitely not the case. It’s quite the opposite.
Not to mention they’re making golf carts road legal which don’t even have seat belts or any other crash verified safety equipment.
That is a woefully incorrect correlation.

Huh, that hood is a head scratcher. I think I have some homework tonight.

These reports have been around for years.
