Heavy SUVs banned on many California Streets

[javasaurus]

Chuckle! Gotta love the irony. Many CA cities have bans on vehicles over 3tons on residential streets. Unbeknownst to many, this includes nearly all heavy SUVs. If they want the tax breaks of work trucks, let them suffer the same penalties too!

I think you're absolutely right...and it's also the idea that what is latest is best despite the fact that we haven't had time to work out the consequences/side effects of whatever the latest car, technology, chemical, weapon is - let alone time to sort them out or minimise them, so this new thing really IS a good thing, on the whole. I just wish that we, as a planet, could learn to wait and look before we leap...*sigh*
