There are already many incentives in place for smaller cars:

* Use less fuel

* Easier to park

* Cheaper to buy

There is generally not much point in having the government incentivize "good" things. Whatever makes them good is already the incentive, and if that's not enough, then there are probably other issues at play that some feel-good government initiative isn't going to overcome.

Unfortunately there are also incentives against small cars [1].

Right, but make sure that all externalities are properly payed by fuel/road/vehicle taxes, so individual incentives are not distorted by not having to pay those.

if statists always got their way, this thinking would be illegal. How come you use this much common sense.

Perhaps regulations should require all on-road vehicles have bumper and headlight heights compatible with regular cars.
