Default Big car owners face tax hike

So it's back! Should big car owners face higher tax charges?

I remember this topic been discussed on this NG before the CONge$tion
charge was introduced.

I still believe large engine capacity engines and above average car
length vehicles should face an extra tax.

Also should company's that provide company cars be charged a double
vehicle tax?



Personally, I feel that big cars should pay /less/ tax, in an attempt to
encourage car-pooling. This would solve a lot of problems.

The number of vehicles on the roads at present with only one occupant is
utterly criminal. Obviously, asking four people to travel in a ****ing
supermini is veering towards the inhuman, but I'd quite happily be driven to
work with three colleagues in an executive or luxury car. Isn't that a
sensible solution?

Appreciate that not everyone's logic works like mine though.
