Here in NW Florida you will frequently see cars/trucks rolling down the road with windshields that have been damaged from occupants head contacting the inside, complete front and rear bumpers off missing headlights/tail lights, no mufflers. I lived in Virginia/Hawaii also and they have vehicle inspections. They are frustrating. I laugh when I see one of the "dangerous" cars cruising down the road, but guess what? They are adults and if they want to ride in an unsafe vehicle that is their choice. Vehicle inspections are to line the pockets of repair shops and new car stealerships and generate inspection fees for the state.Well, it seems rockers are considered essential to "body integrity." ******** imho.

Smoking causes 480k deaths a year in the US which includes 41k due to secondhand smoke. Smoking is not illegal and society allows adults to make the decision to ingest Tobacco. Tobacco lines the pockets of big tobacco and state and local government due to taxes. How is that bonkers? It is fact.and if that choice is to run with a defective unsafe vehicle and hit you and your family head on because a tire exploded or brakes dont work or steering fails or any number of other scenario's then i guess you'll be ok with that
this kind of delusional conspiracy theory mindset is rampant in this country .. it's bananas

You can justify it anyway you want but I will never support it! Especially since rocker panels are not structural and the running boards on these vehicles probably offer more protection and the factory rockers but aren't even required. The delusion is the fact the government thinks it should be able to legislate safety.. and the bigger delusion is the people who have bought into it over the decades!and if that choice is to run with a defective unsafe vehicle and hit you and your family head on because a tire exploded or brakes dont work or steering fails or any number of other scenario's then i guess you'll be ok with that

Smoking in a public place (bar, restaurant, airplane, movie theatre, etc.) became illegal quite a while ago. People can still smoke tobacco (and soon marijuana) in the privacy of their own home all they want. Personal choice. The way it should be.Smoking causes 480k deaths a year in the US which includes 41k due to secondhand smoke. Smoking is not illegal and society allows adults to make the decision to ingest Tobacco.
