Huh?
"The Smart car has not yet been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which waits until vehicles go on sale to the public before evaluating them, NHTSA spokeswoman Karen Aldana said."
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/11/08/smart.car/index.html Why doesn't the NHTSA take the same attitude towards testing cars as the FDA takes towards drug testing? |

[/ QUOTE ] I believe that pharmaceuticals are the only type of product in the US that have to be proven safe to be sold. All other products have to be proven unsafe to be recalled. There have been several cases where the government has recalled or forbidden products because of fear they were unsafe and the manufacturer sued to make them allowed again because the government couldn't prove it. |
