The latest breakthrough in road safety was the forbidding of people riding on the roof of buses (loosely enforced). However, goats and chickens maintained their roof-riding rights and there’s no restriction as to how high you can pack up a vehicle.
Recently the police tried to enforce a law that already exists: helmets are mandatory for motorcyclists. Riots broke out and that was the end of it.
Pick-up trucks are an efficient way to get people around town: an efficient use of space combined with natural air conditioning.
Need I mention that seat belts are completely out of the question?
