We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets. If you can afford the payments, you can afford to stop asking society to subsidize it.

In Australia, third party insurance premiums are based on the amount of damage your car is likely to suffer in an accident not the amount of damage it is likely to inflict on other cars. Fixing that would make the large cars a lot less attractive.
