My normal sized car is at a significant disadvantage in a collision with a full-sized SUV. This creates higher injury risk for me and my family.

Larger vehicles also cause more road damage over time, which raises my taxes or reduces the quality of roads I drive on.

For those reasons, I think vehicles should be taxed by weight, to encourage more smaller, lighter vehicles.

I pay higher insurance and registration fees already, I think its covered where I am.
