Some states have different speed limits for trucks and for cars, and for these purposes they have a legal definition of what constitutes a truck (in his state, I think it was any vehicle over 4 tons).
His suggestion was just to lower the limit to 2 tons. All of the big SUVs would have to slow down while everyone else zips past them.
Not really a practical suggestion, but still kind of funny to think about.
If places like California, which have different speed limits for cars and trucks, had enforced the SUV=truck idea from the start, SUVs would never have taken off.
Sigh...
