Critics call it “carspreading”. In the UK and across Europe, cars are steadily becoming longer, wider and heavier.

That’s certainly a choice

These heavier vehicles typically produce more emissions, cause greater wear and tear on roads, and critically pose a significantly higher risk in the event of a road traffic collision.

Charging heavier vehicle more is the logical thing to do.

Charging the same regardless of weight would be unfair since everyone, including owners of lighter vehicules, would have to carry the cost of extra damages caused by heavier ones.
