Solicit your vehicle taxing authorities to raise taxes on these huge vehicles so it's cost prohibitive.

Hopefully insurance will be prohibitively expensive as well where there so dangerous.

In the netherlands road tax is paid depending on the weight of the vehicle (and some more factors). Also, a standard drivers license B is for cars with maximum weight 3500kg (unladen weight plus payload).
