I think people should need a licence to drive anything that has a tall nose. The chance of fatality is really high for those cars and people need to be taught that.
I just want to put a small barrier between people and buying a car that’s may more dangerous than any reasonably sized alternative. If people want storage space they should buy a station wagon. If they want to transport for work they should buy a Caddy type. If they want to go outdoors offroading then they should get a licence on how to drive offroad and how to prevent front-over accidents etc.
SUVs and bigger cars are becoming the default choice and I think that’s a bad thing.
Fr, I would call every single one of those a “crossover” before I called them station wagons.
That Volvo v60 is the closest thing to a modern station wagon. If it doesn’t have 3 big side windows from front to back, it shouldn’t be called a station wagon.

If it doesnt have airbrakes, and you remove enough seats, you are legally allowed to drive a school bus with a normal liscence.
We need a LOT of attention to liscensing for different types of vehicles beyond just these trucks
Iiiiiidiot tax! $99,99 for 2 hour course where people tell you “You see that hood? Yeah, you hit someone with it, that person is GONE”.

I would love a station wagon, but not many of those around where I live 🙃

Apparently these things are what they are calling station wagons these days.
Lmao what? These are practically SUV’s

…that mercedes wagon is legitimate…
Fucking hell the size inflation is too real. Toyota Auris and Hyundai i30 are good ones for anybody looking.
The Volvo isn’t too bad, but yeah it’s weird how big they got on the outside, while at the same time seemingly having less storage inside.
…registration fees should be proportional to GVWR and speed limits (and fines) should be based upon kinetic energy…
Yep these big rigs should require a CDL, enough with the light trick exemption
