That’s not a good thing. Road freight being subsidized means it gets unfair advantage over more efficient transport when it makes sense. So taxes are being used to subsidize inefficient means of transport, at least some of the time.

Making freight pay their share would make them examine how to be most efficient, instead of not caring since they don’t pay.

As much as I hate Tesla, elderly drivers are notorious for flooring the gas when trying to brake. She’s ancient at 90, which is likely the cause.
