I loathe SUV's more than anyone I know but I think it's fair to acknowledge that we _have_ banned and/or regulated entire classes of vehicle. You need a commercial driver's license over 11,794 kg https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-license/drivers https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-li... (which feels bonkers compared to the 3,500 kg in Europe) for instance.
Of course, safety is important, so you also are forbidden from operating electric scooters on many public roads.
- mc32 3y agoPeople need to rent/hire U-hauls to move. If that required a diff class of license it would suck for people who move —which is most people. Like I can move things myself. I don’t want to hire movers or a driver. I want to do things on my schedule.
- snypher 3y ago? Just call a contractor, same as electrical, plumbing etc.
- bluGill 3y agoI do all that myself as well. The work is not hard. It just takes some effort to learn.
- mutex_man 3y agoI can get a u-haul for under $100 and move myself if it's same city, only a few hundred if it's between. My move from Florida to DC was ~$700 total. Quotes for movers were easily 4x that cost.
- staringback 3y agoThis is definitely not supporting that point you wanted to make....
- CalRobert 3y agoSure but I rented a moving truck just fine - https://www.vanrentals.ie/ https://www.vanrentals.ie/.
