Literally a joke amount, why even bother. I think 10x that would get the hogs squealing but I don’t think that would slow down registrations, they love their trucks too much.
it’s meant to be completely insignificant both to not raise a fuss from drivers and to not be effective at all
edit: the best liberal way of doing this would be to force drivers to actually face consequences from murdering people. The US is notoriously permissive with vehicular manslaughter charges only making most drivers pay fines, do community service, given probation and/or serve no jail time at all.
With that, vehicles weighing >=4000lbs/1800kg OR engine capacities > 3.0L OR power >250hp should be required to have a minimum $1-2M liability insurance policy. Car registration fees should also scale with these factors like some other countries do.

Probably because once a fee is in place, raising it isn’t as politically fucked?

Best I can do is 25/50/25 for liability
To put it in perspective, even $300 a year would only be like 3-5% of the amortized cost of owning a truck.
