Cars are a blight. But even more are large vehicles. They are a danger to pedestrians and people in other vehicles, cause more damage when involved in an accident, block visibility for both pedestrians and other vehicles, and cause a heavier strain on the environment.
All this could be understood if the large vehicle was necessary. But all too often you see a single driver, or a parent and 2-3 kids. You don’t need an SUV to haul 3 kids around the city/suburbs.
@Kokirimuscle I agree strongly! Those big suv and trucks are rarely driven off-road. As you say, They're often empty. Maybe, in place of the gas tax, there should be one on truck weight or size? Maybe an exception for commercial use trucks and suv?
