Restricting vehicle size after a DUI would make a lot of sense. Same for “novice” drivers licenses.

Lawmakers with poor understandings of physics think speed is the only factor in energy.

Given that v is squared in the equation, their understanding of physics seems okay to me.

Half the weight = half the energy… co-factor gonna co-factor.

(Tho I know some places do limit highway speeds for novice licenses)
