It should all be done by weight. The part that makes this ridiculous
is that they are too late. If they were smart about it, they would
have come up with this idea very early on in the "SUV revolution" and
would have met a lot less resistance.
It sounds to me like this lamer is just mad about someone driving an
SUV who cut him off or something so now he's trying to pass a law.
But from another standpoint, having "cars" that weigh 10,000 pounds
driving on weak/old/whatever roads can cause them to deteriorate much,
much faster.
