Gods forbid a dangerous driver have their licence taken away and vehicle impounded. Anything but that!

It's particularly scary that two of them are Dodge Rams. These handle like barges. You don't drive them, you aim them down the road and go in the hope you won't have to make any big steering corrections on short notice.

That's why they were named after the weapon and not the animal.

/s but feel like truth.

I thought they were named after the action.

If a driver decides to go 36-45mph in a school zone they pay a fine and then move on yet if I decide to ride an ebike or an escooter at 20mph (standard class 3 speeds) or even at 17mph my vehicle would be impounded and then confiscated permanently.
