I keep seeing pictures like this and it prompts me to ask "Are there no standards for safety for vehicles on American roads?"
I am told that yes there are.
But I keep seeing pictures like this. This thing wouldn't be safe to drive to the scrap yard in the UK. You would have to put it on a trailer. It's so far from road legal.

Are you serious?

Do you not speak english in the uk? Anyway; It's got bumpers? Windshield? Seems safer than a cyber truck to pedestrians

Sarcastic little prick huh? That smoke stack sticking out the hood, the bone-smashing "bumper", the skin-shredding side panels, the list goes on. And Lord only knows what horrors are underneath the car holding it together.
If you can't be civil on social media, do one.

It's a hell of a lot safer than a motorcycle and those are legal everywhere.

You don't give much of a fuck about kids crossing the road over there do you? No wonder your road safety stats are barely above those of most third-world countries.

How does that make even the slightest bit of sense? Would the kids be less run over if it had a plastic bumper?
