The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠

      500% import duty is way too much.

      80% is enough.

      High one-time taxes are not a good idea.

      Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.

      A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.

      At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.

      That’s 3 of 8.

      Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.

      So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.
