I agree. It shouldn't be necessary, but we're a society comprised of "me first" mentalities that doesn't give a rat's ass about causing accidents that kill and injure "other" people. This law makes far more sense than the seat belt law, which protects people who often don't deserve it.

Actually, I'd be in favor of mandatory vehicle designs that puts the driver in the very front with zero protection in front of them, assuring that the slightest screw up on their part assures that they will be maimed or killed. That could cause a few more drivers to actually pay attention to their driving.
