Glad to hear they are finally acknowledging the issue.
It’s time that that loophole gets closed. These dangerous land-boats have no place on our roads.I (US native) was in Amsterdam last week. We saw two Yank Tanks and they were completely out of place. One could barely move down a road since it was so big.
Please keep pushing your EU leadership to protect your cities, safety, and way of life (so much better than the US) from these city destroying monstrosities.
I want to see more little, compact trucks in the US.
I’m old enough to remember when trucks weren’t luxury vehicles or fashion statements, and didn’t cost more than actual luxury sedans. The automakers are making too good of margins off these stupid trucks to stop on their own, either they need to fall out of favor with consumers or it needs to be regulated.
States seem to be trying their best to ban them last I checked in on kei trucks. They claim they’re not safe enough yet hundred year old cars are still street legal and motorcycles exist just fine.
The smaller trucks would be a lot safer if they weren’t sharing the road with trucks 3x their size.
The US is stuck in an arms race. With guns, and cars, and pretty much anything it seems.
“I’ll be safe if I have the biggest gun”
“I’ll be safe if I have the biggest car”
The safety of others doesn’t matter. They just have to get bigger guns and bigger cars.
Obviously going the other way around would be unsafe.
Finally, there is at least SOME response that the huge monster trucks are bad.
Fucking ban them into oblivion, starting to see way too many of these around on our beautiful EU roads and they don’t belong.
