This is idea may be out of the norm, but anyways…

While private vehicle owners can install one if they want to, what do you think if a law was passed that required all PSV's to have a strong professional multipoint roll cage?

In addition to the roll cage, a good seatbelt system.

I think that it would be fantastic and well worth it, despite the challenges that may be encounted in meeting the law's demands.

Why pass such a law?

There are many road accidents, while a roll cage will go along way in preventing serious injuries and saving lives.

If professional motor sports requires it for safety, why can't we adopt the same safety measures while not racing?

Are not the lives of none racers just as important?

it makes a lot of sense but from a risk perspective, if you have well maintained vehicles, roads and drivers who use common sense, the risk of accidents would be very low. in developed countries, road accidents are very few and emergency services responses is great therefore minimal loss of lives.

True

"According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.26 million deaths worldwide in the year 2000. The average rate was 20.8 per 100,000 people, 30.8 for males, 11.0 for females. 90% occurred in low and middle income countries, with South-East Asia and Africa having the highest rates.[1]" - http://en.wikipedia.org/...ffic-related_death_rate

With low risk, would there then be no need for such a law, despite the laws benefits, should there be an incident?

And, what then of the transitionary period between / from the high risk to the low risk era?

I think we have a BIGGER problem sample these:

1. Poor roads
2. Outdated traffic rules
3. Corrupt law enforcement officers
4. Unqualified incompetent drivers drivers
5. Unprofessional driving schools, I propose all driving schools be government ran.
6. Unroadworthy vehicles.
7. Poor rescue and emergency response services look at fire fighting services to see how dire the situation is.
8. Poor population that is not bothered by safety as much as by hunger and disease.
