If modifications were not so strict here I personally think the situation would ease. Why can punishment be limited to drivers causing a hazard to other people with the manner in which there car is being driven. The import car scene has some of the safest drivers I have seen on the roads, good clear signals, safe distance between cars etc.
If a car has something that is absolutely detrimental to the safety of its driver and other people, it should be defected. What about all the vehicles with one or no brake lights? Why so many?
Don't get me started on unmarked Police cars and speed traps!
