There'...A car height tax would make more sense.<br /><br />There's been an arms race over the past decade, from which we are all losers.<br /><br />If you are driving on the motorway in a normal height car and a Range Rover cuts in front, he gets the advantage of a longer view down the carriageway, and a more relaxing journey. While the opposite applies to you.<br /><br />The only answer is to buy one yourself.<br /><br />Hence the ever growing number, of top heavy, overweight gas guzzlers on our roads.benjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544297406005346095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-60824788791073727572014-05-25T15:47:15.248+01:002014-05-25T15:47:15.248+01:00It might stop the trend for ever wider vehicles, v...It might stop the trend for ever wider vehicles, vis Golf MkI v Golf MkII, Golf MkII v Golf MKIII etc or new Mini v old Mini, new Beetle v old Beetle.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-35623964193941153342014-05-25T10:55:32.543+01:002014-05-25T10:55:32.543+01:00TS, thanks.
