30 associations are proposing to the European Commission to impose a limit on the size of new cars, in particular the total width and bonnet.

A report connected with this request showed that the average bonnet height of newly-sold cars in Europe is increasing by 0.5 cm a year.

Many studies showed that bigger cars and higher bonnets are related to more collisions, and worse outcome for pedestrians and cyclists (and those in smaller cars), especially in regards to children

Those SUVs are kid crushers, they shouldn' be on our roads

@Jesus_666 @RejZoR I agree, as long as non-car owners are considered. If a kei car owner gets a rebate, non-car owners should get an even bigger one.

Mind you, I'm talking about a partial rebate on the vehicle tax. People who don't own cars don't pay vehicle tax, of course.
