Can China ban retina burning headlights, rear facing floodlights and aftermarket exhausts now?
Don't ban aftermarket exhausts completely, just the ones that optimize for loudness or dirtier air.
I'd like to see devices that detect when a car is running too rich or lean (bad cases I can smell right away, so it should be detectable at a range), along with enforcement and seizing vehicles where they deliberately mess with those, especially if there's a switch or function present that can switch between legal and illegal modes to pass emissions tests and then go back to spewing out unburnt fuel or a much higher number of nitrous oxide compounds.
