    Pretty much all of those vehicles require a CDL.

    Seems like vehicles over a certain weight requiring a special license classification is a pretty straightforward and reasonable requirement.

    But we can’t do it without simultaneously addressing mass transit, bikeped, and our general absolute psychological fixation around designing all of our society around cars first and people second.

      Actually pretty much none of them require a CDL unless you’re operating commercially.

      You can go buy a school bus right now and drive it around without a cdl. Only needed to carry passengers.

      You don’t need a CDL to be a delivery van driver either at all.

      The current GVWR limit before you need a CDL is 26,000lbs. No light duty vehicle on the road comes close to that. Even the biggest Ram 4500 caps out at 16,500lbs GVWR. The Hummer EV caps out at 10,550lbs.
