This article is even less informative than the same conversation last week.

To sum up, even a small car can have a dangerous design prohibited in the USA.

Plus, and this is sort of a big one not mentioned in this article, these folks were exploiting a loophole for antique vehicles to get around regulations.

We’ve had enough time now jalopnik.com should have discovered new information such as why they don’t meet federal safety standards.

I wonder if the state is also demanding that owners turn in registrations for ‘65 Mustangs, or ’30s and ’40s hot rods. Given that those cars were also never built to meet FMVSS, it’s only fair that they also be removed from Rhode Island’s roads posthaste. Maybe DiPalma would sponsor that bill too.

Good point, my guess is no. This ban is probably due to some fragile white males feeling threatened by the utility of these actually useful vehicles.
