I'm not one for being over regulated, and don't like authority any more than the next guy, but I have to disagree with the statement that roll bar, or any other safety gear makes any person or vehicle LESS safe to drive around on the street. If its all done properly and you know how to operate it (5pt harness for instance) it all works to protect you.
I’m all for fast street driven cars. Single digit cars, driven on the street. The problem is, if you get into an accident on the street, rear ended , t boned, whatever, you are not wearing a helmet, and your skull is going to smack the roll bar/cage. That is what makes it unsafe. And I would have no issue daily driving a car with a roll bar. But I understand the danger.
