[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in DC and I was all for this when I first heard about it. Whenever I need to maneuver around a huge pickup on a narrow street on my neighborhood, I always wonder why someone needs such a huge vehicle in the city. I also work in traffic safety and know very well that larger vehicles pose a higher risk to pedestrians.

But I hadn't thought about people who need the big vehicles for work. That's a good point. I wonder if DC knows anything about the people who own these big vehicles and why they have them. I am guessing not.[/quote]
Omg. This whining about people who need it for work is such a distraction. Are you this concerned about every other license and registration expense that’s part of operating a legal business?? Do you really think there are contractors out there for whom a couple hundred extra $ a year is a business crushing expense? They cause extra wear and tear on our roads and threaten the lives of people not in their massive truck on the regular. I am totally fine with making them pay a tiny fee for that!!!
I also think they should have to get a CDL to even legally drive these things. We already require that for extra-dangerous work vehicles and these behemoths definitely fit in that category.[/quote]
