Mandatory safety devices urged for all new cars
Lawyers say 1996 cars are no safer than 26 years ago and press for immediate mandatory installation of proven safety features in new autos. Joseph Kelner of the American Trial Lawyers Association cites collapsible steering wheels, energy absorbing bumpers, shatterproof glass, interior padding, and head rests to curb fatalities and injuries. They accuse the auto industry of stalling safety progress while thousands die. Atty. Gen. Scalise and Hoffa advocate stricter federal standards and a safety oversight agency.
