US Dept. Of Transportation Sued

Auto safety pressure groups in the USA are suing the Department of Transport for allowing car manufacturers to use inferior tyre monitoring equipment. They claim that despite the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recognising that direct tyre pressure monitoring is superior to indirect tyre pressure monitoring, the Department was allowing the use of the inferior product on a cost basis. The groups filing the lawsuit include the New York Public Interest Research Group, Public Citizen and the Center for Auto Safety in New York.
