Comment on Worst part about living in Europe
3 of those are already set in motions.
I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.
We need a 500% tariff on US vehicles.
500% import duty is way too much.
80% is enough.
High one-time taxes are not a good idea.
Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.
A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.
At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.
That’s 3 of 8.
Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.
So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.
There is hope! I convinced my neighbor to downgrade his f150 into a Tacoma…
I can’t stand big cars.
We need to stop it from spreading. Genuinely ass to see these non-logical small pp vehicles exist here in any capacity.
Ugh, same here in the UK. I live on a tiny road and have to watch my neighbour struggle to parallel park every day. Why does he do this to himself? He looks miserable.
