A high-hooded truck or SUV is far more dangerous to the public than a small car, and a small car is more dangerous than a motorcycle, so a speeding ticket/liscense points/jail time for an SUV should be >4x more severe than a motorcycle doing the same violation, and bicycles should basically only recieve token fines.
Por que no los dos?
Elon Musk requires a higher fine to stop him from endangering the public, but if he is driving a semi, theres far greater imperative to get him to stop than if he is riding a motorcycle.
You get ‘punishment’ for the act, not the means/method. Stabbed to death or shot dead is -for the law- the same wrong doing. Same goes for speeding. You broke the speed limit, the tool you used is irrelevant. So when an object -high-hooded truck- is a risk for the public, then make them illegal. Set limits to dimensions.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m not in favor of high-hooded trucks, they ARE a bigger risk, they ARE ridiculous, they ARE waste of natural resources, they ARE 9/10 a compensation of some form and in towns they ARE unpractical sized, but violations any driver makes is just that violation. It has no relation to the vehicle itself.
Carrying a firearm while committing a felony often carries a 5-10 year minimum, and using it can be 20-life, seperate from the crime of murder.
The reason for this is that carrying guns while committing a felony is significantly more dangerous. Same with going 35 in a school zone in an SUV vs a bicycle.
I think you are either just angry or jealous at SUV’s. In every reaction -to me and anyone else- you only keep using extremes to defend your point.
But how is t.ex. a builder gonna bring stuff to build whatever he needs to build? Hook up a trailer to his tricycle ?
Don’t speed while you’re driving large vehicles, because it’s more dangerous.
But also contractors put trailers on the back of their motorbikes here. If they need to haul more, there’s kei trucks, and then industrial trucks. F-150s aren’t so common with contractors as they’re expensive to buy and maintain for what they can actually do.
FTFY
From the multi post and responses I get the feeling your fit is (mostly) with the F-150. Other than that, It seems we took our stands and I don’t think this discussion is going anywhere.
