Aren't there other countries that have banned oversize trucks and suv's? I had heard that it's against the law to drive anything but a fuel efficient compact car, that car makers can't even make those gas hog cars. Maybe the U.S.A. should implement something like this and then we'd be able to get those things off the road. But, then everyone would be up in arms about their right to choose whatever they want to drive, regardless of the fact that their right to choose is polluting the air they're breathing.
