I loathe SUV's more than anyone I know but I think it's fair to acknowledge that we _have_ banned and/or regulated entire classes of vehicle. You need a commercial driver's license over 11,794 kg https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/commercial-drivers-li... (which feels bonkers compared to the 3,500 kg in Europe) for instance.

Of course, safety is important, so you also are forbidden from operating electric scooters on many public roads.
