British cars have become 1 cm wider each year since 2001. Should owners of #BigCars pay more for parking? YES because they: 😠 increase carbon & particulate emissions 😠 damage roads 😠 take up more precious road space 😠 cause greater collision injury in collisions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cars in the U.K are up to 55% larger today than they were in the 1970s and there are twice the number of cars on the U.K's roads as there were 30 years ago, but the media are still running articles claiming that a handful of cycle lanes and LTNs 'cause congestion' in London...🙄
