Rhode Island DMV Is Trying To Ban Kei Trucks Again

https://www.thedrive.com/news/rhode-island-dmv-is-trying-to-ban-kei-trucks-again

After taking a few years off, the Rhode Island DMV is again trying to revoke Kei truck owners' registrations but a Senator is trying to help.

But why the decision to ban Kei trucks from Rhode Island streets? Because the DMV claims they don't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

Ironic that kei trucks on this side of the pond are actually more productive than those killer pickup trucks prowling the roads.
