I'm not reading the manual of the Uber I'm about to climb into. A firefighter isn't going to read the manual of a car they're trying to pry me out of.

I DO read the manual on the Kia I actually drive. To read about the recommendations for the tires. To read about replacing fuses. To find the load hauling capacity. Not how to open the fucking door.

safety shouldn't influence artistic choice

Did you really just string those words together in all seriousness without a hint of irony? And that folks is exactly why we need the NHTSA.

Aesthetic choice should be more important than idiotic safety for personal vehicles. It should be every American's right to drive vehicles that put them selves in higher danger, especially if it means proper defense from firefighters.
