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.

    a high hooded truck is more dangerous to the public than a small car.

    In what way?

    Visibility, mainly. Mass also, of course, in that it’s an important part of kinetic energy. Also the IQ trends of the (jacked-up dodge ram super-crew-cab long-box Extreme trim-package) driver.
