Or you can do what the idiots at Standards Australia proposed (no news yet on if they're actually gonna do it).
https://www.standards.org.au/news/revised-standard-recommends-larger-parking-bays-across-the-country
Luckily practically all the feedback in the 3.5 weeks the gave for feedback (suspicious, much?) was "This is dumb, just make standards on maximum vehicle sizes better"
We are captured by the fossil fuel/car industry though, no doubt about it.
I hate that US style vehicles are becoming more popular here too. We gotta ban that shit ASAP.
Standards Australia is a mega rort. There are so many things that should change - such as making all standards viewable by the public to check for non compliance.
Totally agree with the feedback. Reduce and enforce maximum vehicle sizes or class the yank tanks as trucks.
