Rhode Island Is Trying To Ban Kei Trucks Again

After taking a few years off, Rhode Island is again trying to revoke valid registrations for imported Japanese kei trucks.

But why the decision to ban Kei trucks from Rhode Island streets? Because the DMV claims they don’t meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

    The EU takes pedestrians (and cyclists) in account for safety standards, the US doesn’t.

        You basically need to design the car so pedestrians bounce over the hood instead of going under. So you can still to an SUV, but can’t really do a Ford F150 style front.
