other nationalities have to suffer from the lacks of sense in laws of *specific* countries

You actually think there is no sense in these laws?
I for one think it is a good idea. I don't happen to be the type of idiot who stares at flashing objects in his car long enough to rear end the guy in front of him. I happen to be the type of driver who is literally scared of the other morons out there on the road. I don't care which country you live in. If you live in Europe, I've most likely been in your country, and riden in a car with one of your drivers.

In England I rode with a man who worked in the National Theatres. He seemed like a nice enough person, but was a mad man on the road!

In Italy I rode with a guy in the smallest car I've ever seen go speeds the equivalent of 80 miles an hour on tiny roads on the way to the Rome airport. I saw plenty of this in all four countries I was in last summer, and it was the same in Japan when I went two years ago. You CANNOT tell me this is specific only to the countries that have the types of legal issues we're talking about.

Just this morning, as I was driving into Washington D.C. on the way to work, I was driving down a road in the city that was 3 lanes wide and one way. I was in the middle lane when a moron in the right lane suddenly decided he needed to make a left turn at the next street. He did so, but not without scaring the hell out of me and other drivers. This is not uncommon. I see this almost everyday and every time I drive every 10 minutes.

So don't tell me that the legal issues we are talking about don't make sense.

With that said, I agree that there should be an option in emplode, accompanied with warnings and very large pictures of car crashes and death, that allows you to remove this slight inconvenience. But I understand why they would want to keep it there.

Oh, and don't get mad at me for saying this, it's my annoyance.
