Our Philosophy
We believe that all vehicle
owners should be able to enjoy their vehicles as they see fit, so long as it
does not restrict or impose upon the enjoyment or have a significant impact
on the safety of other drivers and passengers, nor have any greater impact upon
the environment based on the standards in existence at the time of the vehicles
manufacture.
We believe that government
should encourage manufacturers to produce safer and more environmentally friendly
vehicles. However, these regulations should not be placed upon owners retroactively.
Government should not use selective enforcement of current laws to produce revenue.
Government should report all results of activities to the public regarding covert
operations on the general public after said operation has been completed, including
but not limited to, the number of people an vehicles detained, arrested, citations
issues and fines/fees levied. Any offenses that warrant suspension, revocation
or partial suspension of a citizen's driving license should be conducted as
any other trial where the defendant could be incarcerated, as being unable to
drive is essentially a house arrest sentence.
Drivers should be given
the earliest opportunity to practice this skill under close supervision. Excessive
restrictions should not be placed on newly licensed drivers as many new drivers
are also seeking employment so they may become productive members of society.
Manufactures should be
responsible for the products they produce.We realize that occasionally a product
does not perform as expected. Recalls should be swift and broad. Crash test
ratings cited in advertisements should be the lowest rating the entire vehicle
received on a specific test, not the highest for a crash test that does not
happen often in real driving situations. Manufacturers should be held accountable
for gross negligence of a defect in their product.
Lenders should not take
advantage of poorer citizens with outrageous interest rates for loans that will
last almost as long as the vehicle.
Insurance companies should
refund money paid to people who fall into high risk categories if they are not
involved in any accidents after the course of three years. Claims denied by
insurance companies should not become part of any record for use by other insurance
companies and these claims should not be used to increase premiums in any method.
Premiums should not be increased as a result of non-accident related incidents
such as, but not limited to theft, accidental fire, flooding or accidents where
the vehicle was parked without an operator. "Act of God" clauses should
be removed from contracts, as everything could be an act of God, and that is
why people buy insurance.
We believe that all owners
should have easy, reliable vehicle maintenance logging available 24 hours a
day.
