Congress has introduced the Pedestrian Safety Act to address rising deaths linked to the increasing size of vehicles. Over the past decade, the size of vehicles have grown significantly, leading to more fatalities. The bill proposes federal standards for height and visibility to enhance safety. It also aims to improve existing safety measures and address the broader impacts of larger vehicles, including road wear and CO2 emissions. https://www.planetizen.com/news/2024/08/131324-congress-introduces-bill-limit-size-suvs-and-trucks #VehicleSize #Transportation

I don't understand why DC's #VehicleSize #tax isn't the norm. Large #vehicles are freeloaders. Their weight accelerates pavement wear, increasing road maintenance cost. Their length reduces space available for other cars, increasing congestion. Their width increases the risk of sideswipe collisions. Their height increases the risk of fatalities & serious injuries when crashes do happen.
It's ridiculous we don't charge extra for all that.

@DrTCombs I saw one of these abominations down here in Brazil and Jesus Christ. You have to be a major asshole to daily drive what is essentially a Heavy Truck for us here.

June 2022 --> February 2023. The kid has grown two inches. The trucks have grown even faster.

This is not fine.
