> Are you really saying that there are no states that would try to utilize the NTSB’s recommendation to lower the regulations in order to enhance their revenue income, all in the name of highway safety of course? “Think of the children”

Even if there are, then it is the states that are using these recommendations as an excuse to increase revenue. Not the NTSB itself. The accusation was that the NTSB was making these recommendations as a revenue enhancement, and that’s simply impossible, from the way the NTSB actually works.
