Not Just Bikes
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

Trucks and SUVs make sense for work purposes. As such the law should consider 'cosmetic. Damage such as dents and scratches normal wear and tear, and companies are not allowed to deduct value for it. Instantly it would be impossible to rent them at the airport. (Uhaul type places still will, but nobody else) leases would also end since they can't demand perfect condition returns.
Not in Europe.
Here, businesses and craftsmen use either vans like the VW T4, Renault Master or Ford Transit, or smaller "cargo station wagons"/small vans like VW Caddy, Renault Kangoo etc.
These offer way more practical room on much less traffic space.
My comment was in respect to US CAFE rules.. Europe is different of course.
Having used both vans and trucks in construction I can report their are pros and cons to each with no clear winner for everything.
The article was about regulations in Paris, if you switch context or continents, you need to say so.
This is a European van, too. Where does the US truck best it in terms of practicality?
