Actually, if there are a lot if drivers that are as bad as I think you are on the road, then that is a very sound reason to make it harder for people to get driver’s licenses.
By the way, it is your own words that draw people to the conclusion that you are not a good driver. Virtually every argument you made for REQUIRING EVERYONE to have back-up cameras involved making it safer/easier for YOU to not hit things when you are backing up. For that reason, my suggestion that you turn in your driver’s license does not qualify as an ad hominem attack. Bad drivers voluntarily relinquishing their licenses would certainly save more lives than the over-reaching and intrusive legislation we are discussing. And you DO claim to be committed to improving safety on our highways...
I, and many others, do not share your admitted problems with backing our vehicles. Some of us are even capable of safely backing large trucks (with trailers) through relatively small spaces - without hitting Volvos or crushing grandchildren.
Actually your arguments do not support your position. If you recognize that there are licensed drivers on the road who are not as capable as you are in backing up and avoiding running over children buried in the blind spot behind the license plate of your vehicle, then there would be a compelling need to make back up cameras mandatory as safety equipment on all vehicles sold or used in interstate commerce.
This requirement may not be necessary for such a professional driver as yourself, as you probably always walk around your vehicle before backing up to make sure that your children or the neighbors' children are not riding or hiding behind you.
But your argument that you don't need the Back up camera because you are a professional driver who would never back up a vehicle without first checking for children doesn't help your position at all because you recognize that there are people who would neglect to walk completely around their car before backing up and that these people, who probably are in the majority, would represent a danger to the safety of both your children and theirs.
So in essence you have made the strongest argument for why these cameras should be installed in every new vehicle.
Even without this regulation, car manufacturers would be compelled to include these as standard equipment because to fail to do so in the future could set them up for a billion dollar lawsuit if, in the future, some kid got run over because the camera was not available because the manufacturer was too cheap to put them in. Juries don't like manufacturers that cut corners that involve safety. They are prone to issue huge punitive damage awards, especially when the death involves a toddler.
