Come on, David, now you're being silly!  Vehicles have to meet a 
minimum level of emissions because high levels of pollution are a 
health hazard. Vehicles have to meet a minimal level of safety because 
they would be a danger to the other vehicles.  We have rules like 
driving on the same side of the street because without it 
transportation by car would be impractically dangerous.
