The size of vehicles and the entitlement of drivers is getting ridiculous.
30 km/h on side streets is just sensible and done in many European countries.
Limiting the size of personal vehicles, particularly bonnet height, is sensible and should have been done yesterday.
Additionally, you can design large vehicles with proper front visibility (vans fit a bunch of stuff her someone still have great front visibility.
These American style utes are ridiculous and should be banned.
Kind of annoys me that they didn’t talk about the size and type of cars on the road changing, while at the same time the writer indicates vehicles have only become better and safer with this sentence,
But despite advances in vehicle technology and enforcement, Australia’s road toll is climbing again.

These things came about because of one of the US’s worst laws in recent history exempting ‘trucks’ from emission standards and turned into a dick waving contest and perceived weapons escalation race on public roads.
Get 'em the fuck off our roads.
