It seems that the majority of the world abides by the same standards, but here in the US we have "different" such as:
1. Mandatory reflectors on the sides of vehicles
2. Bulbs to accompany said reflectors
3. Different emissions laws (which many carmakers follow by inducing rev-hang on MT cars, which is VERY annoying)
4. OBDII
5. Different headlight pattern
6. Red rear turn signals
7. Asymmetrical mirrors (which aid in blind spot vision) are not allowed
I'm sure i'm missing some other stuff. The first 3 laws make cars slightly less pleasing to look at in US spec, rev-hang completely kills the MT driving experience, and the last 2 rules make driving just flat out more dangerous (and recent German cars that share brake lights/turn signal bulbs look very cheesy while signaling). Does anyone have any insight as to why things are the way they are?
