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.

    Stabbed to death or shot dead is -for the law- the same wrong doing

    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.

      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.
