    Well I always thought Norway was a little OTT but now its confirmed. They are considering stopping people driving their Prius's until they are properly controlled and confirmed safe...... :confused:

    I think he's saying that IF investigations show a serious safety risk they WOULD go as far as preventing the use of affected cars until fixed.

    like this:

    reporter: "What will you do to protect the public if you determine a serious safety risk? Can you say anything at all to quiet the fears and public cries for protection? What about the hapless babes crossing our streets in front of run-away Toyotas?"

    administrator: "We would go as far as banning the recalled vehicles until they were repaired."

    (edit) headline: "Directorate of Public Roads to ban run-away Toyotas"
