GOOD NEWS! Morgan Will Offer Three Wheeler in the US

Often, us in the US can't get access to lots of the cool and quirky vehicles coming out of the UK (which is really all the UK automotive industry has left at this point). The reason is that very few of them meet US crash test and emissions regulations (there are rules in the UK which let small producers skirt these regulations - in the US a company like Morgan would have to follow the same rules as Toyota).

A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
