TOYOTA: Safety Not Mandated.....!


This is Noriko Uno:



This is the TOYOTA that sped out of control, killing Noriko Uno because she couldn't STOP it, she even pulled the emergency brake:




[TOYOTA]  argued that brake override was not -- and still is not -- required under federal vehicle safety standards.
