Oh come on Netherlands, you’re better than this, simply declare these vehicles not road worthy as they are not road worthy. Just give owners 6 months to get rid of their dumpster trucks and then prohibit them on public roads and we’re done
There are many professionals driving a bit oversized vehicles, like small cargo trucks and large vans. But these people are smart enough to know they don’t fit in a standard parking spot.
Please tell my neighbour with his 4m99cm (barely legal) van/truck… if I’m parked front side first (charge port to my shed) and he parks opposite side of the lot I can’t even get out.
Luckily practically all the feedback in the 3.5 weeks the gave for feedback (suspicious, much?) was “This is dumb, just make standards on maximum vehicle sizes better”
We are captured by the fossil fuel/car industry though, no doubt about it.
I hate that US style vehicles are becoming more popular here too. We gotta ban that shit ASAP.
Standards Australia is a mega rort. There are so many things that should change - such as making all standards viewable by the public to check for non compliance.
Totally agree with the feedback. Reduce and enforce maximum vehicle sizes or class the yank tanks as trucks.

Oh I wish.

Or you can do what the idiots at Standards Australia proposed (no news yet on if they’re actually gonna do it).

The system is corrupted.
See obnoxiously bright headlights, horns which can startle people, etc.
