MODERATORS
Stop being selfish and think of the shareholders! Buy a ridiculously oversized piece of crap truck to impress your neighbors. How else do you show how manly you are?!
How else do you prove you’re a man?
You couldn't have linked the bloody video?
Thought I did, sorry. Fixed it now.
I've always said that the fines for moving traffic violations need to be scaled to the weight of the vehicle.
It's insane that going 20 over the limit on a 250kg moped gets you the exact same fine as doing it in a 4 ton F-450.
And income of the driver
The more insane part is that Bezos and that mfer working McDonald's gets the same fine. It might as well be jail time for one, and a verbal warning for the other.
Except in Finland like with that Nokia executive
So “cute” we kept our little static fines as if three or four figures mean something to everyone

It'd be nice to get them out of America, too.
And Canada. They're everywhere here. Idiots only using them to commute to work every day.
"But I need it" Fuck off.
Here's a due with a fukken Dodge RAM using it mainly to drive his daughter to school. It's ~800 meters, and there are hundreds of little kids walking that same route. Way to go, you lazy idiot.

Besides the obvious fact these trucks are too huge for European roads and parking spaces, America vehicles are simply hot garbage.
The Japanese and Korean vehicles for the American market aren't any better to be fair.
the "newest" car i've ever owned is from 2008... are hondas and toyotas really equally as shitty as fucking dodge and chevy now?
I don't think so. Their comment seems over-generalized. Sure, most modern cars are too "sporty" now which translates to being more uncomfortable in my experience. But that doesn't mean I'd lump Japanese cars in the same quality category as American cars.

Everyone else on the road when one of these drives by with a loud muffler:
New f150s dwarf old f250s in size despite not being able to haul as much. I read somewhere that American farmers have a strong preference for pickups from the 90s because new trucks are worse at doing truck stuff in every way.
Hey OP.
I get some people prefer a screenshot here instead of just the youtube link, but why not put the youtube link in the body of the post?

The only thing more stupid than these tacky cars are the people sitting in them.

Wouldn't this be a suitable topic for a citizens initiative? Along the lines of the stop killing games movement?
Wait until the CyberTruck arrives
It won't because its exterior has too many sharp edges to be street legal. It will never be allowed in europe, not without a whole bunch of laws beeing changed.

They are so terrible
Some wealthy idiots in Europe will buy a handful of US pick-up trucks. The normal European would not waste their money on the insurance, emission taxes, fuel cost, and maintenance for that junk. Good luck parking it too. I always laughed when I saw a RAM on the Autobahn with the "AF" plates. Aral (Petrol Stations) were delighted when they had to fill it up off base.
The fucked-up thing is these hulking beasts are a recent construct, we used to have genuinely small trucks here once.
A stock S10 from the '80s, '90s, or early '00s is going to be significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up new off the lot right now, for example, and that S10 would've been more than good enough for things like basic junk runs to the scrapyard or for hardware store runs for things like bags of sand or whatever.
Seems like links to the video itself are missing in the post, here they are:

It's hilariously sad watching these huge trucks driving like they're corvettes on the highway.

Help how? I would love nothing more if I never had to see one again but I can hardly prohibit others from having one
Below the video you`ll find links to organisation competing this legislation. You can join those and support them.
If EU citizen, you can write to your member of the EU-parliament. Theres a pre-fabricated letter you can send in. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search/advanced
He explains it in the conclusion of the video.
