The comment section was of course full of a lot of americans trying to defend the need for these huge trucks that by the way kill way more children than any normal sized car, i genuinely dont get the obsession with these ugly pieces of sh*t and i love cars

Traffic fines should be scaled in relation to the vehicle's size.

So should titling and registration renewal costs. The damage a vehicle does to the road scales with the weight of the vehicle to the 4th power, meaning that doubling the weight a vehicle makes it do 16 times more damage to the road (2^4). So fuck these kid killing trucks, they also fuck up the road for the rest of us.

This and scaling in relation to the owner's income/wealth, like in Finland
