• From Automotive News: Proposed auto safety legislation being circulated in Washington would require new technology and sharply raise penalties for violators -- potentially one of the biggest overhauls since rollover regulations were passed a decade ago. One provision would remove the existing $16.4 million cap on civil penalties against vehicle manufacturers for violations of safety laws and boost the fine for each violation to $25,000 from the current $6,000. NHTSA's recent record $16.4 million fine against Toyota for violations of U.S. law could have been as high as $57.5 billion if the proposed Waxman law had been in effect at the time.
