My guess is that it's a bit of wishful thinking, not a proposed policy. Not yet, anyway.

The problem is that that policy would scoop up virtually everything in its net. https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/topten/top-10-lightest-cars/
Your principle may be valid, but you need to work on the detail.
And the detail would need some kind of "historic vehicle" concept.

It's not my wishful thinking! I was just commenting on munroist's post, which I assume was tongue-in-cheek.

Indeed - apologies for missing that.
Ive edited my post to include the appropriate context.

Bobby Necrosis or whatever your name is this week
, you spout some carp, but that's one of the dumbest statements you have ever uttered. You aren't bright enough to realise that a cyclist could say to you that the Gwiz or whatever tree hugger shoe box you drive is bought at the expense of cyclists. There will always be others on the road who are more exposed or vulnerable for whatever reason. A Jaguar driver could say that someone is driving a lorry at the expense of reduced safety for Jaguar drivers. Your argument, as usual, is bizarre and nonsensical.Your statement is total lefty bollux born of jealousy. They should have worked harder at school, then they could have afforded a nice, large safe car.

it was and it wasn't - something needs to be done to stop the arms race.
lets agree on what would be a small car for personal transport, then make anything bigger a very onerous thing to own and operate, we need to break the very strange relationship that we have with the car.

You really are a sad and inadequate little liar.
Do you behave like this in real life?
Surely it already is.

not at all, most people own cars that are unnecessarily too big and powerful for what they truly need.
...and it costs them more.
But it doesn't seem to reduce the popularity of big cars, SUVs, 4 x 4s etc

People are prepared to pay for higher running costs in order to drive a car which is deliberately oversized so that it does more damage to other cars in accidents.
I couldn’t agree more. Starting at least 5 years back the number of SUVs and other large vehicles has increased hugely. What surprises me is that nobody in government or the media appears to have noticed, let alone tried to discourage it, while banging on about emissions and net zero.
Idiot.
