I do wonder about some of our rules and regs where IVA is concerned. Why on Earth do you need to fit rounded bezels on the instruments? If my face ever hits the instrument panel on the far side of the steering wheel I don't think a cut from the bezel is going to make much difference to the outcome.
Yes agreed, but rules is rules. I do wonder if some of this is counter-productive. We have a Fiat Grande Punto, and the A pillars are IMHO far too big and restrict vision (and they are small compared to a lot of cars!). Is this in the pursuit of roll-over safety? I suspect a lot more crashes/injuries are caused (by these thick A pillars) compared to the relatively small risk of roll-over injury.
