Remember, even twenty years ago, cars were a lot narrower, people could park on both sides of a street and two cars could pass going opposite directions. Then some prick in the US decided ‘trucks’ didn’t need to follow environmental protection laws, a dick waving marketing campaign ensued, and here we are, stopping to let people pass on roads that were designed not to need that.
Just make rego higher on wide vehicles. Fortunately the switch to EVs gives us a once in a generation chance to change things back from US stupidity.
