Stop the import of American monstertrucks
184 signatures
Cars sold as 'sports utility vehicle' are less safe for everyone outside of the vehicle and devoured all progress made in cars consuming less fuel. They are big, have and the driver can see less. The opposite of sports and utility in other words.
The extreme version has become popular as a 'monstertruck' in the USA because of tax breaks for small trucks. This type of car is not imported by manufacturers because they can't comply to the severe EU safety norms for cars. But when you bring your self imported car to the vehicle bureau you get a license plate and you can hit the road with it. The legal loophole needs a fix!
Petition
We
pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users
establish that:
- big pick-up trucks are allowed to be imported in EU member states
- these vehicles do not appear on the regular market because they can't comply to safety and environmental standards
- the owners are aware that these cars do not comply because parts and maintenance goes through specialised workshops
- this loop hole in legislation needs to be closed for our safety and the environment
- all member states should implement this fix because otherwise these vehicles will be imported by the last member state that allows trading of these things
- member states could offer to everyone with such a vehicle in their name a subsidy to have it demolished
and request
- to keep these big pick-up trucks outside of the EU by making importing these things impossible
- to make it more difficult to impossible to market other heavey and big car models through EU legislation.
