I guess the car manufacturers have a lot of influence... and money. Safety is secondary as always. Not saying corruption is afoot :-) Al -- I don't take sides.

ADR 14/00 has been in force since prior to August 17th, 2006 - that date refers to the date of applicability for the most recent version of ADR 14/00. the material content won't likely have changed, but they will change some minor legal stuff when they introduce new revisions (e.g. ADR 14/02). the date that counts is the model applicability date. you've confused this with the one you've quoted.
