    It’s easy to want to drive one of these cute kei cars. It’s another thing to put your family in them and travel down the highway at 70 mph between a Suburban and an F-150

    Brother, Kei cars cannot (should not?) go 70 mph. Don’t do that. Also motorcycles are legal road vehicles and are a fraction of the size of modern American trucks.
