A large SUV causes 116 times as much road damage as a regular car.

Time to tax them accordingly.

@dmoser @GoldenDenizen This would be amazing. A comprehensive score could be calculated which includes the factory weight of the vehicle along with the type of tires that are used.
@brennansv @dmoser @[email protected] Automobile manufacturers’ lobbyists would beg to differ.
@darwinrz @dmoser @GoldenDenizen They are welcome to prove that their vehicles don’t cause wear and tear on roads. I would like to see that.
@brennansv @dmoser @GoldenDenizen weight vs tires would definitely need to be evaluated. Just because some vehicles are bigger doesn't mean the psi on the ground from the tire footprint is higher. All wheel drive vs 1 wheel will also make a difference with corner wear on the road etc etc. Smaller doesn't always automatically equal better.
