Road taxes should increase after certain dimensions and weights. Bonnet/hood height should be one.
Also, safety ratings should give equal weighting to the a vehicle’s impact absorbtion and impact contribution. It’s insane that something is considered safe solely because the occupant is protected.
I think places that aren’t America tend to do that, taxing by engine size. It’s not a perfect solution considering sports cars and such, but you’re not gonna find a 6L engine in a Kia
