I'm a car person. I hate trucks and large vehicles people dont need, which is 98% of them.
Also most drivers should have their license revoked. I enter often in motorsports events and actually know how to handle a car properly, emergency braking and maneuvers etc. No distracted driving. Checking every blind spot every time. Drivers should be forced to take hdpe classes and banned from driving vehicles over 3200 lbs unless needed for work.
The large majority dont do this. Yes, I'm a better driver than most, its just a fact.
In rural areas they are necessary. But we also need public transport for cities where cars dont make sense. Even in my smaller city, banning cars downtown should definitely be done. They ruin it.
