    which have top speeds of around 60 miles per hour and can lack modern safety equipment like airbags

    I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to let people fly down a highway at 55mph without airbags. Maybe restrict the bill just a little to ensure these sorts of things.

      Us already lets people fly down the highway without seatbelts, functional brakes, airbags, any safety equipment, rusted out chassis etc. Its always land of the free until someone starts threatening the margins of a corporation.
