Was this another violation of the “Law of Unintended Consequences” by this rogue regime?

““I’m concerned about the increased risk of severe injury and death for all road users from heavier curb weights and increasing size, power, and performance of vehicles on our roads, ... “

I heard this back in the seventies

[maddog55]

So the answer is to ban all small fuel efficient vehicles and save the bigger pickups....

Mine weighs 7800lbs and gets 9.2mpg !!

[KrisKrinkle]

What about the damage to infrastructure from increased gross weights?

There’s no walking it off after one of these babies rolls over your foot.

It's basic physics of relative mass and energy transfer.

I once knew a guy who chewed tobacco and had a styrofoam spit cup sitting on the center hump of his mid-70's pontiac bonneville (classy, no?) who had a little honda civic pull out in front of him. The civic got obliterated. Fiberglass fragments all over the road. The spit cup in the pontiac never even spilled over.

Also, this: Ode to Harry

The obvious government answer is to immediately take steps to ban all ICE powered vehicles, which they are going to do anyway, this is just 10 years sooner than the plan.

[Flaming Conservative]

Stay OUT of California and parking garages, and IN the right hand lane.

"Them EVs are too damn heavy!"

[353FMG]

Raise insurance rates for lighter vehicles.
Check load restriction on every bridge and overpass in America.

[immadashell]

… the Biden administration’s plans to phase out carbon emissions from vehicles to deal with the climate crisis.

Is that the same climate crisis that caused the ice sheets to melt 15,000 or so years ago?

[Revel]

If the impact does not get you then their is a chemical fire included with almost every crash.

[Revel]

Also they should pay double the road taxes since they do twice the damage to the road.

[BobL]

“The head of the National Transportation Safety Board expressed concern”

That’s the problem here. The NTSB is FULLY INDEPENDENT, and so they’re allowed to tell the truth, rather than have to spin this stuff for the EV Cheerleaders.

[Tell It Right]

Translation: Us Democrats will never be satisfied. Even after we make you plebes switch over to EV's we'll figure out a reason you can't drive those either.

[I want the USA back]

The followers of the religion of Climate Change Gonna Kill Us know this, and willingly sacrifice the people in Honda Civics just as they are sacrificing millions of birds to windmills.

What a big ado about nothing. If the batteries aren't damaged in a collision, you don't have anything to worry about. (snicker)

[Honorary Serb]

Ban EVs instead!!!!

Show some sense!!!!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just don't park 100 of them in a parking garage.
