So rich people can continue to use them without issue?

Only rich people are driving SUVs in London regularly.

It's not a perfect plan, but it puts a stigma on the entire thing. And also this might put people that can afford it in a place where they at least think about what they're doing.

I'm not too bad off, but also I'm trying not to be an asshole about it. So I have a small, electric hatchback for my daily driving and a large, gas guzzling offroader for when I go and work in my forest, pull a trailer to lug stuff around or, to be honest, for a nice, top open weekend drive with my dog in the mountains. And back when I was living in the city, I had an electric cargo bike and those two others mostly sat in storage. Coming from a very rural area, my friends telling me that some behaviours are just shit when living close by with others was, what got me thinking in the first place. If a fee can trigger that, its not a bad idea.

With growing older, I've come to accept grey solutions that sort of work over kicking out not-absolutely-perfect solutions until they are absolutely perfect. And with playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program, I've come to accept that putting a little effort and delta-V into something and then waiting for a while is often a lot easier, or, possible at all, than trying to fix everything immediately with a breakerbar.

I guess at least it's something.

@Marsupial at least they won't be that widespread for the time being.
