Maybe they could get approval if they physically disconnected the door handles from the mechanism and forced them to stay locked if the thing bursts into flames...

Hell there are a lot of Street roads here where the speed limit is 55 mph the road right in front of my house is 40 mph. Even I think that's too fast 10 years ago when I first moved here it wasn't bad but we've since tripled almost quadrupled the amount of people in the area and now 40 mph is way too fast. I've watched numerous accidents including one where most likely a young girl died two nights ago 50 ft from my house slamming into the back of a parked car.
There's a stroad on the other side of my block that's 35mph (55km/hr), but people rarely go less than 40 (65) and often go as fast as 50 (80)
It's the main reason that my cats are indoor-only
