This is going to be costly to implement and maintain and the benefits are unclear to ...everyone, apparently? Bit of a head scratcher to me. I may just need to learn how to read.

Issuing demerit points (or fines) for these vehicles when their trays or hoods block footpaths without might change behaviour and increase accessibility? Just spitballing my totally unprofessional opinion. Disabled parking is a moot point when people with mobility issues and/or those who use mobility aids have to use the road because the footpath is blocked. Having parks that are actually long enough for these vehicles doesn't seem to stop drivers from obstructing footpaths, at least in my town (which is in the same state as Naarm/Melbourne).

Regulating the hood-taller-than-most-adults, useless-3-foot-bed monstrosities as to require additional licensing or as commercial only vehicles (or something to that effect) might make a difference. Never gonna happen, though.

On the topic of regulating vehicles, it'd be nice if the stock headlight brightness and colour were regulated to not blind people, especially those of us who don't drive yank tanks or other tall vehicles. Slip in some totally unrelated stuff requiring basic safety features (headlights, indicators, windscreen wipers, maybe even basic media and environment controls) to be physical controls and not touchscreen rubbish would be nice. I can dream.
