How to register a Kei truck in Pennsylvania
I went back and forth on the idea of sharing such a negative take here, but... here goes.<p>> <i>You'll need to find a truck that is at least 25 years old. In the US, cars more youthful than that must comply with FMVSS (safety standards).</i><p>> <i>No air bags, [...] power steering, or crumple zones.</i><p>I feel like this sort of thing is a fantastic illustration of the irresponsible level which most drivers (in the US at least; can't speak to other countries) feel that they are just so <i>so</i> good at driving that they believe all these safety features are fine to go without.<p>Sure, this is presumably not your sole vehicle or daily driver.  And sure, you're not going to be taking one of these on a 65mph highway.  But a 30mph head-on collision with another vehicle will almost certainly kill you in one of these trucks.  And I know if I was the driver of the other vehicle, and survived, even if I wasn't the one at fault, I'd probably need years of expensive therapy to get past it all.<p>The thing that boggles my mind his how this 25-year-old grandfathering thing works.  I think it's totally fair to allow old vehicles on the road that may not comply with today's standards, but did comply when they were originally made and titled (in the US).  But there's no good reason we need to allow people to import old, unsafe vehicles like this.
