What a load of shit. Pretty sure roads are already used by many vehicles of Greater mass than 7000lbs. Trucks. Buses. Coaches.
But not with nearly every vehicle being one of them and operated by people with CDLs that understand a lot of the safety features of the road aren’t going to work for them.

Mentions skidding on ice in first paragraph. No amount of training can reverse the laws of friction.

Thing is, I agree and think normal consumer passenger cars are getting far too heavy. Like people.
