Sadly, we cannot really ban them as they are utility vehicles that a small portion of the population needs. However, I still see freakin' ads that frame them as fancy cars.
“The new Amarok V6. Pick-up truck for every day. Powerful and comfortable”
I suggest making it illegal to buy them without a registered company or have them in any color other than matte excavator yellow (for construction) or green camo (for hunting and forestry).
If you can't put a flatbed or utility bed on it, it shouldn't be called a utility vehicle. They're just SUVs with the back opened up.
Business permit on file and a commercial driver's license.
Makes sense. In the Czech Republic and probably most of EU, a standard license applies to vehicles up to 3.5 t. Adding a category would help.
In this region, forestry vehicles are either regular-green (more 'crayola' than 'olive') or just plain white.
The only people who drive camo trucks here are prepper weirdos or hunter rambos.
It's trivial to setup a company. That's not a real block.
Now, some kind of graduated licensing standard (below a CDL, but above the current standard), absolutely.
I do like the color options
In what way? The idea of only two color options, or would you be willing to buy such a truck?
I just like the colors. If there's only going to be two I think those are solid choices.
...probably needs to be a fleet white, too, for actual work trucks to reflect solar heat gain...
