As many who are reading this probably already know a large SUV crashed through the front of the PETA building in Los Angeles. Luckily no one at PETA was hurt nor were any of the office dogs hurt. This was incredibly lucky as a there were people in harms way just minutes before. But when put in danger by SUVs many have not been so lucky to escape injury or death.
This raises the question of why are we not regulating more strictly who can drive a giant 7000+ lb tank. We regulate so much else that is so much less harmful. Why are we letting bad drivers behind the wheel of giant deadly tanks?
Why does an elderly couple like the ones who crashed into PETA need to be driving around an urban area in a giant tank that is endangering the lives of others? They don't. We are trading lives for vanity.
If a vehicle like that is being driven and putting lives and property in danger than it should have to not only have a justifiable reason, but the drivers should have to get a higher level license such as a CDL.
At some point we are going to realize we are wasting a lot of time worrying about things that are hardly even dangerous while ignoring giants tanks being driven by drivers who aren't even safe enough to be operating your average sedan.
