Abstract
In their recent encomium to auto safety regulation, Joan Claybrook and David Bollier contend generally that: 1. Major lifesaving and injury-prevention gains have been achieved at a cost so modest that it hardly bears discussion; but 2. Regulation does not enjoy the popularity it deserves because of a "perceptual bias" under which its costs are clearly recognized while its gains are largely "hidden."
