this is barely passing, but that is all they need to meet code.
Your scenario is a good example: vision panel not required but would be a good idea
I agree with the above comment, but I wouldn't give it the same analogy as a D- grade.
* I use 87 octane in my car instead of 89 or 91, but I don't refer to it as D- gasoline.
* I see a football player make a catch with his toes just barely in bounds, I don't call him a D- player.
* If I buy a new car Toyota instead of a Lexus, I don't assume the Toyota is a D- car. I bought a car that is street legal, and able to do the job it was designed for. If I want a vehicle with more features, including safety features like collision avoidance monitoring, that is my choice, but it doesn't mean a vehicle without this equipment is a D- vehicle.
