Yeah.

You're probably right, but I'll bet those allegedly explosive gas tanks on those pickups a few years ago met DOT standards.

How dare GM sell gas tanks that explode WHEN YOU SET OFF A FREAKING BLASTING CAP IN ONE!

BTW. Have you seen those rear turn indicator eliminator kits that some sportbikers use? The ones that use the taillight bulbs instead? How did the DOT ever approve those? All you can see is the taillight flashing. They are completely worthless.

Maybe the same guys who set the subprime mortgage approval regulations got transferred to DOT.
