If they sell them here some one will drive them on the interstates at
max speed. Just like those "Emergency" spare tires that have "Max Speed 45
MPH" printed in the sidewall - people either can't read or choose to ignore
those warnings. Everyday I see some nitwit driving a car packed with people
and a Emergency spare tire at one corner going hell-for-leather and passing
everything else on the road.
