Majority of pickups sold in the USA should require a CDL. They are semi sized death machines.

We could definitely improve road safety by making less safe vehicles less easy. Without doing anything hard like changing infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are a lot of emotion driven large children who would get mad.

But grandmal likes to be able to see over all the other cars . It is easier for here to get in too. America will never improve ever. We are locked into our demise. Our elders have failed us.
