Wrong direction IMO. Should not be encouraging the trend of larger vehicles.
These penis compensators are absolutely ridiculous and should be made to pay additional registration fees imo.
Fuckwits drive them they have no place on the road.
Large pickups do have a place in the road, but not a place in shopping centres and are not suitable as a replacement for a normal sized car.
If you have an obscenely big trailer for commercial or recreational purpose, a Light Truck is the only thing that is able to tow it.
The truth is though, that if you have proper cab-over light truck, you are able to carry a whole lot more than a βConventionalβ light truck with a bonnet.
Worth noting that the proposed changes are based on vehicle fleet data from 2019 (IIRC) and so would only capture the increased size of Rangers/Hiluxes/etc, not the influx of US-style pick-up trucks of the last couple of years
Yay! So now instead of the idiots taking up six normal-sized parking spaces at Chadstone, the will take up six oversized car parking spaces!
The size of the parking spaces is not the problem. The size of the vehicles is only a symptom of the problem.
