It looks like somebody accidentally scraped the last one off, so I replaced it as a courtesy.

    Very interesting. I didn’t know this

    We need two cars. One of them is annolder microcar (Suzuki Splash) and it does fine on our roads with 80 mph speed limits

    Cars here are taxed every half year depending on how economic they are. The more they use the more they cost

      Microcars aren’t able to travel above 25mph for the most part because of safety regulations. So what we do have here are a bunch of LSV rated microcars which can’t be used on many streets.

      As for that tax it wouldn’t do much here, more likely to just lock them into poverty.

      I’d personally love to own electric car but I don’t have 40k to blow. Mivro cars which are more affordable aren’t available here as LSVs as far as I can tell. I can’t even afford to buy an electric trike. And this is speaking from my position which is definitely better than most other people.

      I think something that’s lost in the weeds is how truly poor US citizens are, as it would turn out having over 50% of the wealth in the hands of the wealthy makes for a rich impoverished nation.

      Take for instance gas, sure it’s cheap comparatively, it’s also subsidized by our taxes so we’re paying for gas whether we like it or not.
