MODERATORS
In my country you're not allowed to have them on public roads. Because they do pretty much nothing additional to protect your life (only your property), while obliterating others.
Yes then people take them on or off if they want to take an agricultural/industrial vehicle on public roads.
That's surprisingly enlightened and humanist. Not all pieces of equipment needed in rough environments should be allowed in non rough environments just because "I needed it out there!", which is the small minded US logic we seem to be okay living with.
Doesn’t seem like that would be legally required or expected in the US, so again your surprise seems unwarranted.
