The funny thing is this "requirement" got pushed back nearly 20 years and still isn't actually required, but if they set this fee in 2008 it would've been done in 2008. In America you don't get it done by requiring it, you get it done by making it cost more if you don't do it.

I'm to believe this is done for my safety, which is apparently worth $45

What is amazing is that a couple of weeks ago it was $18[0]. Yet what is really cooking my noddle is that the live site referenced from that post now says $45 [1]. Yet, if you check the waybackmachine the original article in fact said $18[2].
