Ian Brossat, a former Paris councillor and now a senator representing the French Communist party, called for SUVs to be banned in Paris. “This is not the first incident of its kind, and the dangerous nature of SUVs has already been pointed out on several occasions. We owe it to this young man to realise the scale of the problem and draw all the consequences,” Brossat told the Nouvel Obs.

    In theory, yes.

    In practice, trucks are possibly the greatest hazard to cyclist, and the don’t are ridiculously low. In one case, the driver list good license for a month and had to push l pay 4500 euros.

    Initially, he called the judgement “too harsh” and that he wants to appeal, which it seems he retracted.

      I admire your contortionism.

      The article is about a manchild killing someone with an SUV, and about banning SUVs, and you’re here all like “look there guys, a pink elephant”.
