Fuel efficiency does not increase with weight.

Sorry, common sense? Stupid? Sorry seriously? No one ever has to visit a physics class and be a genious in it to realize: "more weight, more difficult to throw, or carry".

How can one be so stupid to assume an engine for a bigger car is more efficient than a smaller car and smaller engine?

Can you carry 100kg/200punds 2km far? No? Why not? What about half its weight/mass double the distance?

Stupid idea ...

Yes, some nitpicker idiot will jump up and point out a 10k HP ship engine is more efficient than a 100HP car engine.

Wow, big deal: it is a different type / construction of an engine. Because the same type made small: would not fit into a car.

We used to have school buses too.
But in most countries the school bus time was skipped to public transport.

For example Thailand has no school busses.

Either pupils take public transport, or state paid taxis (obviously the bigger variations, called Son Taow).

Not sure how many school buses Germany still has, they are definitely an extremely rare sight. I live here since half a year, and only saw one once. (Obviously a matter of time of the day)

Your parent is right, and you are an idiot.

Strict emission rules were set up and "trucks' where exempt from that.

So, they changes "what a truck actually is".

In general, a truck is a motorized vehicle with 3 to 5 tons weight, that pulls one or two trailers (or has a trailer build in), with up to 30 years/30meters length and can carry 20 to 40 tons of weight.

A pickup is not a truck. And converting a pickup into a SUV - or converting a Jeep into a SUV: makes them exempt from standard personal vehicle rules: because suddenly they are trucks.

Learn some history, or be condemned to suffer from it in eternity.

People were free to cross the road any time anywhere since the invention of roads.

Yes, but the car has priority, and it is your fault if you make a mistake. Obviously, the car is expected to brake ...
Which is obviously law wise a little bit silly situation.

But according to common sense: you do not walk over a road, if a car coming can not brake, and a car brakes if you are far enough away, that it can.

Both are happy, no law or rule bend or broken.
