Yea, they probably won't get into Heaven now but it made me a satisfied customer..

With all due respect, you need be stop being a sheep and reasonable understand that just because your government overloads, at one time in history, felt that attaching slabs of orange retroreflectors, on the side of your vehicle were necessary, doesn't make them true for today's vehicle standards.

The conspicuity of an automobile's side profile doesn't change simple because the reflectors are missing. The reflectors are redundant with modern headlights design but the resources was never allotted to test this theory, so they remain.

There are bunch of archaic laws that still exist, which were never given the resources to be properly revised, matching current standards. Doesn't mean a person can't think independently, without being perceived as reckless or morally bankrupt.
