    If you would tax cars by weight, people would stop buying bigger cars and/or you’d have more money for road repairs.

      Nah, people will just stop buying EVs and buy bigger ICE cars. Everyone’s out for themselves now and a car to our leadbrained elders is like mold to JKR - a safe haven, a fortress.

        Road degradation grows to the power of 4 with the weight of the vehicle: a car that weights 2 as much as another degrades the roads 16 times more. That seems to me like a good rule to guide vehicle taxing.
