The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

If it is a truck you should have to get a CDL, have to go to weight stations, cant drive on the parkway etc.

Literally the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You clearly don't know what a CDL is, don't understand the function of weigh stations, and for that, actual trucks that require them have had emission systems for a long time now.

You clearly don’t know what a CDL is

Could you give the rest of us a quick education on what that is?

2 secs with Google would show you it's a Commercial Driver's License. Used for Commercial Vehicles which have a gross weight of over 26k lbs, or required to tow a trailer over 10k lbs GVR. But I'm sure you already knew that. Weight stations are for weighing vehicles that qualify as CMV's and / or that are subject to the FMCSR's, hence the 3 little red lights in the back of them, but again, you knew that.

For those that (actually) didn't know, there ya go.

I'n never sure though that the initials a person is using is for the same thing that comes up as the first item on a Google search, so I like to ask the person instead.

But I’m sure you already knew that.

I wouldn't have bothered asking if I did.

but again, you knew that.

Not sure how I pissed you off, but I really didn't know.

For those that (actually) didn’t know, there ya go.

As someone who didn't know, thank you.

You must be lots of fun at parties.

Sorry dude, moving quick and didn't realize you weren't the original guy that said that stupid shit. Eternity is a terrible app. I have no issues explaining shit to people who actually didn't know. Yes, I'm awesome at parties, especially when drunk.

Fair enough, thanks.

Good to hear. That's important, especially these days.
