Vehicle-specific speed limits are long overdue. Even having 2 or 3 categories would go a long way.

I would absolutely love for that

Yes it would fuck up traffic. and people would change their vehicle choice as a result

Height limits for the front grille as well. So many trucks are up to my neck. It's ridiculous.

don't forget to give these drivers the finger and flash your high beams at them when they drive towards you at night!

so sick of getting blinded by headlights, flashing somebody, and then they flash their "high beams" back but it's almost impossible to tell the difference

I do want to point out that while aiming and headlight height are a factor that makes it worse, it's the sheer brightness in the first place that's the main issue with headlights

I drive a little roadster and those trucks are especially terrifying for me. I know they can't fucking see me at all when I'm driving next to them on the right.
