There’s also often exceptions and issues when it comes to one agency in the government trying to enforce rules on another.

Notably, the death toll on 9/11 was made worse because the state used its authority to override the local building code which would have required more staircases and further spacing of them.

Or any locality trying to enforce payment of parking tickets from higher entities or even their own off duty officers.



And there are antique plates etc. States are generally very hesitant to forbid people to drive their cars unless there's something that poses a serious imminent threat to others.


Because not enough people own really old cars for it to be worth worrying about. And as you note, and increased endangerment is generally to the owner.
