make them require LR – Light Rigid licence. if you really "need it for work", no worries, just do the course.

    Charge rego by the kilo, or by road surface area. It's crazy that they cost the same to put on the road as a 900kg hatch.

    Rego in NSW does scale by weight. Other states should bring that in if they don't already. However, that hasn't stopped yank tanks from flooding NSW roads. They should also require an LR licence since they are literally the size of a truck.

    I was going to say just put a stupid-tax on them, but I guess Trump has kinda done that with the price of diesel.

    And remove the tax concessions for using them as 'work' vehicles.

    I'll be honest, remove it for any fucking ute that doesnt literally have a motorised compressor, pump or similar bolted to the tray.

    98% of tradies can do their shit out of a van, they just want a swanky ute they can be an utter cunt on the road with. And they can go get fucked.

    And of course, LR will require a BAC of 0.00.

    That will discourage certain people from buying them if they don’t need it.
