🚨 Trump Says He Has “Approved” Tiny Cars For America – But Safety Standards Say OtherwisePresident Donald Trump posted that he has “approved TINY CARS to be built in America” and directed federal agencies to start allowing production immediately. He described them as inexpensive, safe, fuel-efficient and “AMAZING.”But according to automotive safety experts, the types of tiny “kei-style” cars popular in Japan aren’t actually legal on U.S. roads under current federal safety regulations.Auto safety requirements like▪️ minimum front-end width▪️ seat spacing▪️ crumple-zone strength▪️ hood impact angles▪️ crash survivabilitymean these vehicles fail to meet U.S. road standards today.A spokesperson for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety told Road & Track:“Kei cars can’t be sold in the U.S. because they aren’t designed for this market and don’t meet various safety standards.”Right now, tiny imported cars are only allowed at low speeds, on private land, or are banned entirely, depending on the state. The smallest street-legal car in the U.S. today is still larger than most kei cars overseas.Trump says he wants the Transportation Department to “immediately approve production,” but it’s unclear if any rule changes have actually been made — or if automakers are even interested in producing them, since small cars have historically sold poorly in the U.S. compared to SUVs and trucks.Would you drive a kei-style tiny car in America?Or are they too small for U.S. roads?Let me know what you think. 👇🔥#humor #Trump #TrumpAdministration #japanese #japantravel #tinybutmighty #news #NewsUpdate ...

Your license plate frame could get you arrested and is most likely illegal now in the “free state of Florida.”A new Florida law dramatically changes what is considered an “obstructed” tag, and the penalties are steep. Under HB 253, any frame or cover that blocks even a tiny portion of the tag design, border, numbers, letters, the word Florida, or the registration sticker is now illegal.This includes:• Decorative plate frames• Thin trims• Dealer frames• Clear or tinted covers• Anything placed around the plate that interferes with visibility or recordingKnowingly driving with an obscured tag becomes a second degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail or a 500 dollar fine.The law goes even further than that. It creates a new crime for owning or selling “license plate obscuring devices,” and using one during a crime becomes a third degree felony.Many people use plate frames without knowing they cover part of the border or design. Under the new law, even a sliver of coverage can result in charges.This will impact a huge number of drivers statewide.Full breakdown of the law and what it changes is below.#news ...

National Park Service Removes MLK Day and Juneteenth From Free Entry List, Adds Trump’s BirthdayThe National Park Service has released its updated 2026 schedule of free admission days at U.S. national parks, and two long standing dates have been removed. Beginning next year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth will no longer qualify for free entry at parks that charge admission.In their place, the agency has added June 14, which is recognized nationally as Flag Day and is also President Trump’s birthday.The Department of the Interior announced the revised schedule in late November as part of a broader restructuring of fee free days. No detailed explanation has been provided for why the two holidays connected to civil rights history were removed.MLK Day and Juneteenth will remain federal holidays, but visitors will now be required to pay standard park entry fees on those dates.The change has already sparked significant national discussion, with supporters praising the shift and others questioning the symbolism of replacing two historic observances with June 14.What are your thoughts on the National Park Service’s new policy? ...
