"Michael Chare"

The US has some of the highest safety standards for automobiles in the
world, and tests cars to ensure that they are being met.

Not even Ralph Nader shows much interest in the issue any more - that was
so
1960s.


It was GM who tried to discredit him following the publication of his book
"Unsafe at any Speed" in 1965.


** That was due to one chapter where he severely criticised the Chevrolet
Corvair.

The car was crappy and unsafe in an accident, but so was the VW beetle and
many others at the time.
