We desperately need smaller vehicles to counter the behemoth light trucks that are in the road today. Everything about these kei truck bans just scream corruption and incompetence from politicians to domestic auto manufacturers.

Americans just love being the biggest on the road. Bigger is better in their minds. Maybe we put an extra tax on very large vehicles.

We need to require special licenses for those behemoths.

I'd prefer they get banned entirely because there's really no practical use for them that isn't solved by some other commercial vehicle.

i've thought about that for high performance vehicles, but probably more important for very large vehicles. like a B/C license.
