You can point fingers and say it was them lobbying, but everyone who didn't do something to act in the opposite direction could have influenced but didn't.
I say this not to blame more but to motivate people to take responsibility and to act, to stop people from thinking they're powerless (no pun intended).

I think people here are disappointed not so much in this particular outcome, but the harmful effects of a political system that is nearly entirely fueled by lobby money. I mean, in other countries they call that "corruption".

Now for every generation coming after that, new driving allowances are needed, per various class of vehicle, wether you have a trailer attached and so and and so forth. Its the new kind of mob activity, that uses the law to pressure people into paying for unneeded services and obstruct buisness for new buisnesses.
