      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

        Bro that’s fucked up. That is… not right. This type of heavy vehicle would require a special license in my country.

          If you’re interested about this, here is a video from Climate Town about this topic. He mentions it less than two minutes in: SUV’s are regulated as “non passanger work vehicles” and don’t have to hit the same standards as regular cars and manufacturers can make much more money selling them.

          Of course this is absolutly insane. How does it make sense that 40+% of all vehicles on the road in the US are “non passanger work vehicles”.
