How cities can stem the tide of pedestrian deaths from large cars and SUVs – Ars Technica - eviltoast

All these children are invisible to the driver…

Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.

    That doesn’t invalidate trucks used for commercial or professional use

    In that case they need a commercial license and/or it’s business property for taxes and the company should own it (if not a sole proprietorship). And you can’t use company property for personal use most places.

      Good Lord. Imagine living on 8 acres in the woods and you need a professional license to own a truck just to live, lmao.

      No wonder none of you get it.

        Then how do you stop the spread of these monstrosities to suburbs where the driver never uses it for that function? All I’m seeing from you is calling us silly for now wanting something the size of a fleet vehicle used on streets not designed for it and killing pedestrians they cant see. Atleast requiring some sort of inbetween grade of license besides passenger cars and everything else could curtail people who are not skilled enough to drive those vehicles or not motivated enough for a status symbol purchase. Rather than say we don’t understand that people have some legit need and poo-poo us, couldn’t you try and be helpful with ideas?

        There’s no issue with driving whatever on private property. But driving a professional vehicle on public roads should require a professional license.
