    I really think driving these things around should only be legal for work purposes.

      The loophole is many who own their own trades business still drive them for personal uses because they can’t afford (don’t want) another car.

        They’re only common because of tax laws. Everyone else in the world uses box vans for most “work” purposes, and if not box vans, the same frame with something else in the back. Pickup trucks have their uses but they’re worse than vans for most trades.

        If only the people who drove them for legitimate work purposes owned them, even as their only vehicle, it would be a huge number off the roads.
