@peterbrown@mastodon.scot @MrAndrewD@aus.social @rrustema020@mastodon.nl @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I think they're legal in the EU. Expensive to fill up, heavily taxed, difficult to park, a bit wide for the roads, but street legal.

@dneary@mastodon.ie @peterbrown@mastodon.scot @MrAndrewD@aus.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com And recently I found out that small business owners use the costs of such a monstertruck as a way to bring the profits of their one man company down so they are taxed less. They need a car for their tools and materials anyway and now they get more pleasure and status out of it. Their job by itself gives less of that? And they like to Dodge taxes just like their big hero entrepreneurs?

@dneary@mastodon.ie @MrAndrewD@aus.social @rrustema020@mastodon.nl @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com only as a personal import. They can’t be sold commercially in the EU as they don’t satisfy the safety regulations the construction regulations or the fuel consumption regulations. One of which is that the driver must be able to see the road ahead from the driving seat and in that vehicle the driver can see absolutely nothing.
