Already pay more for registration. Funnily enough my Chyank Tank is one of the most fuel efficient cars I have ever driven, so they cant get me there. DPF is factory installed, so emissions aren't the issue. Its got 360 degree cameras and alerts and bells and alarms and things so its not a safety thing. Is it envy or revenue raising. Only 2 options left really.

Not downvoting, but perhaps those who did shared my thought "safety for whom thing?"
Well I have vision thanks to the cameras low enough to spot a toddler staring at my headlights, and overly sensitive sensors that pick up every leaf and twig. At highway speeds it will take over and slam the brakes on for me. Cruise control matches speed of the vehicle ahead of me, and the lane assist is almost parental.

So the answer is... you, and children, and other squishy things either out of or inside of smaller vehicles.

The actual data shows that these camera covered tanks kill pedestrians way more than the tinycars of yesteryear.

It’s not… SUVs are hostile to everyone else on the road… they consume more space, generate more pollutants
