The government already has limits on car sizes.

They literally say how wide cars may be and how much size is inside.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_size_class

So really the blog should be, 'why do they limit the size of cars, but not to my own personal preferences?'

Frankly I also read this blog as a bad actor.

>This limit would truly help with the environment, reduce road damage (lighter cars mean less road damage) and be overall for drivers (people can drive a bigger car than others).

The real reasoning is revealed here. Not because 'I'm ok with a 100,000lb overloaded dump truck driving next to me but that rich person driving the escalade... it's toooo big.'

Political activism under guise.
