> Cars should be taxed based on their weight Why weight in particular?

Two arguments here: 1. SUVs are already taxed on weight indirectly - they consume more fuel which is heavily taxed (50+% in most of Europe). 2. SUVs are already taxed higher because they're more expensive.

In some places in the world (e.g. some parts of Switzerland) there's already a tax on car weight. I do not see it being particularly effective.

> there should be much stricter standards regarding visibility. SUVs usually have great visibility because of large windows.
