I can't tell you how many small minded people here buy absolutely obnoxious large trucks that have never been used for a day of work. We need more regulation here in the US regarding the size of our vehicles. The last thing EU should do is follow our example.
Hell, I'd just love for a higher-level license to be required for any half-ton or larger vehicles. Trucks, SUVs, all of those... too many people that can't maintain their lane, hit curbs, don't follow at appropriate distances, speed excessively, etc.
I say this as someone with a truck that I use for hauling a trailer a couple times a year, I'd be more than happy to meet those requirements.
