i am not from the NY, but as an american i would like to put in some input.

someone needs to get to the source of this downstate group and see what data exactly and how it was collected, its very easy to manipulate the facts.

fees and registration? i don't see the purpose, what, more fees will automatically make having a brushguard safer? the point of the whole legislation is because brushguards were deemed unsafe.

and is this downstate gruop, what legimate foundation do they have? i mean in reality can someone just come up with a group and make something up and send it in to the state?

what does the state highway patrol and ntsb have to say about it?

to me its bending the facts, and second of all, it doesn't matter why someone has a brushgyard on, whether its for looks or not, its still america, whats wrong with having something on for looks?

this looks like a manipulations of facts to me by a self interest group who for some reason wants something to their credit.
