That GMC vehicle probably would be classified a truck outside USA/Canada/Australia. Thus requiring a license of a type mostly only pro drivers would have. Not that that fixes everything but would reduce risk (statistically).

Not sure about that.

In Europe you can drive trucks up to 3.5 T with a car license.

Taxes might reduces ownership tho.

Punishing individuals for their consumption choices instead of holding corporations responsible is not a good or ethical way of combatting climate change.

Perhaps you make a point there. However, the discussion was more on traffic safety (and slightly about drivers with small members). So I do not know why you brought that up.
