Feds Propose Backup Camera Mandate By 2014

The U.S. government proposed a new mandate today requiring backup cameras on all new vehicles by 2014. It’s the latest front in Ray LaHood‘s war to protect us from ourselves. You know what else works? Paying attention. [AP]

    How about desiging cars that provide proper visual ranges, unlike most SUV’s and 4WD…

    Reclassify all SUV’s and 4WD vehicals (or vehicals over a given size/weight/height) into a new class requiring a new license??

    How about providing a “city” tax for all “large” passanger vehicals not registered with an appropriate overroad club??

    How about allowing residents to put in horse shoe drives??

    Too bad you’re usually done backing up by the time the screen switches on after ignition.
