I wish they would change the laws to be that a car must just meet epa requirements. Most of the safety requirements should be left up to the consumer on whether they want to do them. After all, if you get in an accident and your doors don't comply with standards, you really only hurt yourself.

I don't agree with that, if some cheep skate who doesn't care about safety issues buys a car that that gas tank bursts into flames in an accident and I catch fire I would be pissed.
Same goes with wearing a seat belt and accident that could have been walked away from not occupies an ambulance, doctor, icu bed, etc. Now if the police can say to the emergency responders, doctors, etc that he wasn't wearing a seat belt do what you can when you have some time then yeah you can choose not to wear one.
That's the whole reason for making minimum safety standards a requirement for any car to be driven on the open roads.
