    I hate the huge SUVs you see all over the roads, I have a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback, and around here the Kia EV9 is really popular.

    While not as large as the stupid Ford F-150s, the EV9 is fucking huge.

    The bonnet of an EV9 reaches almost up to my Leon’s roof:

    It should be illegal to have a car with the headlight at the eye level of a driver of a standard WV Golf type car.

      Bonnet height for private vehicles should be tightly regulated, they are a key contributer to lethality in car accidents yet increasing every year. I could imagine some steep increase in taxes (at least at purchase if nothing else) the further you deviate from a defined reasonable height. People do care about money, make lethal asocial choices more expensive.
