[quote=flu][quote=captcha]It happened to a 60+ old nearly bankrupt real estate agent, who managed to stop the car, but not until after giving the media a chance to get some good shots.
The life experience says it is a stunt. Another ‘incident’ happened yesterday. Unsurprisingly, politicians were there to jump on the bandwagon. A guy walks in, says “Darrell Issa sends me” and goes to evening news when the NHTSA guy refuses to break the protocol for him.[/quote]
The NHTSA is a bureaucratic tool.. Toyota approved for the guy Issa sent…NHTSA was the one that objected.[/quote]
Right. But if NHTSA has a procedure in place you can’t attempt to break it and complain when you don’t succeed. Your request might appear reasonable on the surface, but someone else (or even you) could use your successful breach of the procedure as a proof that the existing procedures are not being enforced.
I expect seasoned politicians to be aware of that, hence my claim that the yesterday’s action was a publicity stunt (by Issa).
