Kevin Hart’s Barracuda Crash Will Be Used To Shape Future California Laws
It’s common practice to disassemble a car after an accident with a major injury and typically takes around three to four weeks. The vehicle involved is stripped down to determine the cause of the crash before forensic experts evaluate the pieces of evidence uncovered. The end result may be a recommendation by the CHP to the state legislature to require that car companies in the business of customizing and restoring classic cars must install safety harnesses – EVEN IF it strays from the original vehicle. There were no harnesses in Hart’s Barracuda. Although it wouldn’t have prevented the crash, a harness could have minimized the damage and injuries to Hart and his passengers.

It’s being reported that the CHP does, in fact, care if the car wasn’t restored properly and has actually pushed legislation over salvaged cars that are unsafely restored. So Hart’s crash may push the envelope in getting that legislation pushed through.

At the end of the day, this may change nothing for restored cars in California. However, if the CHP legislation requiring modified classics have safety harnesses things may change for owners and restoration businesses alike.
