People driving around needlessly in massive cars annoy me and I think regardless of the cars environmental impact, the heavier the car, the more road tax should be paid, as they damage the road the most.


I had an estate when the kids were in prams but as soon as they were out of prams I went back to a hatch back.

Far too many massive cars clogging up country roads.

Car weight makes negligible impact to the roads. HGVs that’s different

Personally hate driving little cars. If you drive long distance you will appreciate not being cooped up in a cramped eco box

The extra road tax is not based on the weight of the car, it's on the value new.
