Tab CombsI don't understand why DC's #VehicleSize #tax isn't the norm. Large #vehicles are freeloaders. Their weight accelerates pavement wear, increasing road maintenance cost. Their length reduces space available for other cars, increasing congestion. Their width increases the risk of sideswipe collisions. Their height increases the risk of fatalities & serious injuries when crashes do happen.
It's ridiculous we don't charge extra for all that.

Look, there’s no easy way to say this: the front is not red anymore.
