Insurance Institute of Highway Safety Concerned About LSVs

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reports about the increasing use of LSVs/NEVs on public roads and the safety concerns the trend raises.  The article mentions two factors that could adversely affect the market in the future.  First, the IIHS may start conducting crash tests of LSVs with passenger vehicles.  Second, the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating how to more tightly regulate the vehicles. NHTSA concerns include lower crash testing standards for LSVs, mixing with larger and faster vehicles on public roads and the removal of speed governors by some LSV owners. Learn more:  WSJ Online
