1. No, why should it in the first place?

[Ron Obvious]

2. Yes, also automatic transmission and power windows

Stick shift drivers are forced to be more alert and also don't have a hand free to operate a cell phone.

That's my opinion and I'm unanimous in that.

9. Count me in

My first two vehicles had "Three on the Tree"

[ashling]

15. And lighted turn signals

Hand signals are way underused

[CreekDog]

18. what about many disabled people who need automatic transmissions?

[Ron Obvious]

20. We'll give them an exemption

For I am a broadminded man.

Everyone else, though, it's the bloody stick for you!

[CreekDog]

22. they won't be available for the disabled if it becomes a niche market

i don't think you're being charitable at all.

[mrmpa]

27. I would love to drive a stick again.........

but age, knee replacement & a bad broken hip repair disallows it. My last stick was a 4 speed Jeep CJ7.

[Enrique]

3. yes it makes it too easy

it's making Americans soft.

[CreekDog]

24. no it does not, for the disabled it does not make things too easy, it makes driving possible

false answer.

4. Yes, and bring back the "suicide knob"

It's a great substitute for power steering.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

13. Hell yeah!

[BlueJazz]

5. Hell yes! It's time we Manly Men took back our highways and roads. If power steering is...

...outlawed, these prissy weak women (and Girly-men) will have to stay home where they belong PLUS it will leave the roads a lot more clear for us Macho-Dudes. Everybody wins!

[Renew Deal]

7. Finally. A voice of reason.

[bigwillq]

6. No (nt)

[clarice]

8. Nononononononono.. No more REGULATIONS. nt

[LawnKorn]

10. Not only should power steering be outlawed,

Power steering should be outlawed and we should bring back the standard of the steering wheel being the same diameter as the wheel rims.

Let' see those jacked up trucks with mudders and cruisers with low-pro 24's get into the driver's seat.

11. If they outlaw power steering and automatic transmissions

How am I going to drive with one foot on the dashboard with a cup of coffee in my hand while playing with the radio?

[CreekDog]

25. and how would someone who only has one foot drive?

[davidpdx]

12. I've driven one car without power steering and it was difficult

So my vote is no.

[lovemydog]

14. I voted no. I like polls.

I'll vote in most every poll regardless of whether I know anything about the subject, lol.

[ashling]

16. And the dimmer switch should be on the floor where Gawd intended it to be

[jmowreader]

17. I can think of something that SHOULD be outlawed

Any vehicle with four wheels, except for a motorhome, that you need a ladder to get in.

[B Calm]

19. It would help truck drivers from over-steering when they're backing into a dock, but

I see no real advantage to doing away with power steering. I can't imagine how hard it would be to mow my yard without it on my Kubota tractor.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

21. Can't vote!

I am a two wheeled fiend!

[CreekDog]

23. The people who voted yes would eliminate many or most amputees from driving

and almost definitely take away the ability of amputees to drive a rental car.

and maybe you didn't think of that.

and why would you think of the disabled before making a grand pronouncement?

that would complicate the decision, taking them into consideration.

and no, you can't grant an exemption, it would make automatics a costly aftermarket add on.

think of how many veterans you would affect and prevent from driving.

[F4lconF16]

26. +1 nt

[Renew Deal]

29. Your response is very serious

But the poll is a joke.

[pintobean]

30. !

[alphafemale]

28. I know this is a joke for whatever reason.

I've driven a car where the power steering was just busted for a time.

The only time it was difficult at all was when parking.
