   @sam @samfromtheus Say drivers should be able to easily see a 5 ft tall pedestrian when they stand directly in front of the vehicle.

     Here's one thing to say:

     Including the safety of people outside of the car as a category in vehicle regulations is long overdue.

     Any vehicle that is not subject to non-occupant safety should require a commercial driver's license.

     Currently, the proposed regulations exempt vehicles over a certain weight; this exemption appears arbitrary and likely to prompt the sale of extraordinarily heavy and deadly vehicles to the general public.

     @samhainnight 3ft. Or however short toddlers are that are just learning to walk (and run away from their guardians).
