Selective targeting, tax the 4x4s off the road!

In most cases it would probably just get people to switch to ordinary, more economical cars, but it's a start.

Why not just ban them?

Likewise I don't agree with penalising drivers of 4x4s and bigger cars. The amount of pollution depends on many factors such as how far you drive, not just the size of your engine. 4x4s are unsafe in other ways, fine, so regulate or ban them where necessary. Don't get into a silly game where you just make "ordinary" car drivers feel self-righteous because they're not doing as much damage as their richer/bigger/stupider neighbours.
I'm sure some people enjoy the idea of a class war but I'm more interested in protecting people and the environment.

OK maybe engine size and miles to the gallon isn't everything, but we try and force people to go for more economical cars, it would mean less fossil fuels being used, and hence less greenhouse gases being discharged into the atmosphere.
I am all for people using public transport instead of the car, but that isn't going to happen when the roads are clogged up and the railways are a mess...
