Trucking regulations

The Internet tells me that truck-driving has become an issue in the United States. (Everything is an issue in Canada.)

In my view, which is obeyed throughout this website, nothing actually needs to be done about the truck-driving industry. All regulations and licensing requirements on the length, height, width, weight, and speed, of vehicles or drivers, should be abrogated in all constituencies. This should disapply even if they use enough wheels to float, or are piloted by centenarians or Somalis — so long as they do not make any noise.

My one restriction would be that no vehicle over three yards long, or unnecessarily ugly, may be taken on a public road or driveway. Anything bigger will have to go off-road; and of course, never faster than a horse. (I think I argued previously that cheetahs should be ticketed; and in favour of ostrich tongas at any speed.)

These rules would apply only outside city limits. Inside, anything with a motor will have to go underground.
