The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they're so big it seems like the drivers aren't as aware of their surroundings. I'd love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it's the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You're paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.

The "light truck" exemption is a huge problem, and needs to be repealed.

Big cars also reduce everyone else's visibility.

I feel this so much in my 90s hatchback :'(

The SUV plague is a european phenomenon too.
