Re: tail light guarantee
You're mainly preaching to the converted here- most of us are aware of this, but the general public? Not so much.
That's why in some respects I think this happening is a good thing.
You can make all the well-reasoned arguments you like about issues like this. You can even explain how it might affect them in practice. But generally speaking Joe Public is going to dismiss all this as some abstract geek concern (if they're even paying attention in the first place) until it actually bites them on the arse- or at least until they see that happening to someone like them.
So, yeah. As with anything, the more people get their fingers burned early on, and the more fuss that's made about it, the better the chance of fending off the worst excesses of this sort of crap.
Then again, they might just do what they've been trained to, and go out and buy the next shinyshiny instead.
