    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 have them in any color other than matte excavator yellow (for construction) or green camo (for hunting and forestry).

        In the US, the camo option would only make them cooler to the kind of people you really don’t want behind the wheel of them.

      forcing a “this vehicles kills pedestrian” warning on top, making it similar to sigarettes: all same boring packaging and a warning on top.
