Instantaneous Water Heaters

Cars on the road are volatile (fuel, spark, gas) and capable of catching fire, of exploding. They break, crash at high speed, and many lives as lost annually. We yield operation of these dangerous machines without full supervision. Vehicles as not safe, we accept the risk. 5 Star NCAP and you still will have deaths.

Yet we (the authorities and controlling bodies) freak out about being perfect regarding gas and electricity and we get over regulated.

You have to have a license to operate a car - which theoretically means you've been taught (and tested) about the risks and safety protocols.

Exactly the same as having to have a license to work on electrical installations.

Dont forget the more bings and bongs to distract in new cars get you extra stars.

How about them safety stars? You have a bing? Extra star. You have a bong, another star for you. Steering wheel rips out your hand because you too close to a line, bonus star. No buttons? No problem. Not a safety issue.

Especially in countries that have people that will sue you for anything. Guy tries to change bulb, and it breaks in his hand or whatever and they sue the building owners etc. So, everyone covers themselves with regulations.

Someone on power forum got angry that Sunsync or one of the brands wanted to send their technicians or the owner must get a qualified installer to look at something, but the guy said the homeowner should be able to do the simple checks. If the owner is a real technically useless person and damages the equipment, the same homeowner will try to hold the brand liable.

So, I get where most of these rules are coming from.
