Thought I'd try an inflammatory title for a change!
Car Rear-View Cameras Could Be Required by 2014 - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
The feds are now requiring auto manufacturers to have rear-view cameras on ALL cars by 2014. This will add a few hundred bucks to already over-priced new cars. I am not convinced of their life-saving claims, as folks will still not look at the camera screen. Besides, it will be DECADES before a significant number of cars on the road have cameras.
Even with cameras, people will still be dumb enough to:
- not check their mirrors before backing up
- walk behind cars that are in reverse
- let their kids play behind cars
Just another feel-good, knee-jerk law from an already over-reaching federal government.

Am I doing this right?
