This is a shot in the coming fight about CAFE.

The fix is simple. The operator "cockpit" shall only be allowed to be
in front of the bumper. This shall be law for all vehicles greater
then 2000 lbs. This cockpit shall be constructed only of thin plastic
and Plexiglas. When the operator does something stupid, they are kill
immediately, removing them from the gene pool. Those that drive
smartly do not kill any one else. This stops the "I'm invincible"
mentality where they make left turns in front of motor cycles, or
economy cars.
This applies to any thing over 2000 lbs. semi-trucks, ag-tractors,
etc. fixing this problem of idiots that drive with out consequences.

The damage to the front of my pickup is from a small car backing in to the
front. Dark and rainy. So you think the small cars can get away with
killing and mayhem?
