Sure, so will bikes… The concern is that the infrastructure is unsafe for a good portion of current and future vehicles on the road. Say what you will about people buying vehicles that are too big for their needs, they still deserve safety never mind all of the people with legitimate needs for those vehicles.
They sure do deserve safety, So we should make sure the vehicles they can buy are safe. Upgrading the entire country’s safety infrastructure for the ego of pickup and full size SUV drivers is not acceptable.
Not very many people have a legitimate need. And if you want to upgrade safety to the point it would stop a Semi/Box truck then you’re spending way too much money. That’s why those vehicles require a special license to operate. It would be more feasible to put in massive amounts of light rail freight if you’re that worried about safety. Also, work vans are a thing in 90% of the world.
Actually not. Ford’s is 3500. Mercedes straddles 5k depending. Opel’s is at 4k. It’s basically an enclosed body with one or two seats and an engine. It was never going to be super heavy on its own.

And those who have legitimate needs for those vehicles deserve to die?

Ok now you have to be trolling… Work vans are like 9000lbs
