      They should not be legally classified as a car. That should require a special license to drive. That thing is like a freaking wheel loader.

        Here comes the fun part. They are legally not classified as a car, at least not in the US. That’s the whole point and the reason, why they are allowed to be much deadlier for everyone else, unsafer also for those inside and more polluting.

            Oh no, normal license is fine. It just means it doesn’t need to meet the same safety or emissions regulations, and also has a lower tax rate. Because it can be used for work you see

        Agree with you. These should be considered as heavy vehicles (sorry if I’m wrong. English is not my native language). The number of these accidents that happen in the US is insane.

          not just a heavy vehicle, but a large vehicle too! They should require all those amber lights along the sides like trucks and buses do.
