In my experience, I’ve noted that truck drivers are on avg more likely to be shitty egotistical drivers.

I think it’s bc they have small dicks, and they feel safe in their giant metal death machine. Nice n cozy, perfectly ready to tailgate a Mazda MX-5

Sadly, we cannot really ban them as they are utility vehicles that a small portion of the population needs. However, I still see freakin' ads that frame them as fancy cars.

“The new Amarok V6. Pick-up truck for every day. Powerful and comfortable”

I suggest making it illegal to buy them without a registered company or have them in any color other than matte excavator yellow (for construction) or green camo (for hunting and forestry).

I do like the color options

In what way? The idea of only two color options, or would you be willing to buy such a truck?
