    I would not say that we can completely get rid of cars, or that all cars are evil, but such absurdly big, extremely inefficient trucks with negligible visibility just should be taxed to shit.

      At the very least you should need a special license to operate them. They’re classed differently to avoid safety and emissions regulations imposed on regular cars, so its perfectly reasonable that there should be different requirements to purchase them and get behind the wheel.

        That’s brilliant.

        I cannot believe my license lets me drive all sorts of vehicle sizes that can outright crush/kill, right off the bat.

        But to operate a forklift or ride a motorcycle that is more likely to kill myself? Nah gotta have a license.
