make them require LR – Light Rigid licence. if you really "need it for work", no worries, just do the course.

Yeah, no shit. They shouldn't even be road legal here imo.

these cars aren't safe and should be made illegal, like other unsafe profucts from the USA.

Remember, even twenty years ago, cars were a lot narrower, people could park on both sides of a street and two cars could pass going opposite directions. Then some prick in the US decided 'trucks' didn't need to follow environmental protection laws, a dick waving marketing campaign ensued, and here we are, stopping to let people pass on roads that were designed not to need that.

Just make rego higher on wide vehicles. Fortunately the switch to EVs gives us a once in a generation chance to change things back from US stupidity.

TLDR: Tax Vehicle Girth.

Fucking shocked fucking pikachu fucking face

Anything over 4.5 tons needs a truck license and is speed limited to 100km. A RAM is 4.48 tons.

No shit and waters wet...

These insane sized grills/front ends look great in the driveway be a nightmare otherwise. Its a rolling battering ram...

These vehicles are primarily personal use in Canada. And I couldn’t care less about personal vehicle choice. However…. In my observations here I often see. 1. A single driver. 2. That they far too often follow stupidly close behind me. It feels like some weird dominance/intimidation game by them. And I don’t have the time or interest to play along. This is real here, others have mentioned similar observations to me.

I fucking hate the public safety amnesia around this, we knew this would happen, that is why cars weren't designed like that before.

I want a smaller 4wd with lots of clearance (as a backup). What I want is a Jimny, but BEV with lots of range.

The only car I can find with my requirements at the moment is the Trailseeker or Solterra.

I drive a jeep at the moment. But, I don't want a large car.

Tired of Dodge RAM drivers and other large utes using their big size as an excuse for bad parking, and driving like shit. Instead, they should be driven at a better standard. At my local IGA, the other day, there were literally 4 cars using at least 11 spots..

At the very least, they should be double demerit

We can file this one under no shit sherlock

I just want a small vehicle what can tow shit, is that too much to ask

After a deeper investigation it was found that there are no standards at all anymore. /s

I live in truck country. But no worries, there are effectively no pedestrians. Everyone knows they would die if they walked in the road. It's mostly the commercial size trucks killing people though, they're everywhere around me and they're much bigger and heavier than our pickups, and they can't stop quickly.

I wonder if these utes are less safe for the occupants as well. They are taller and heavier than most cars making them less safe in corners and needing a bigger braking distance to stop

Of course, that’s what they are made to do.

There is a point system in the usa, the more you hit the higher your score.
