Unfortunately, there are more than a few like that. Arbitrary laws,
counterproductive laws, and laws which pursue a prejudice without
justification. The EU proposal on bananas was a politically motivated
law. Talk to a motorcyclist or cyclist about laws which require
wearing a helmet. Politicians, like senior management, think they
have to exercise their power, and satisfy their party line, whether
it makes sense or not. And there are precious few engineers or
scientists in government. As the pace speeds up, I think there is
worse to come.
