Many groups have already called for a weight-tax on heavy vehicles at point of sale in #Ireland. We will set out our version of the proposal soon, with a focus on the shared benefits it brings our wider society, including possible exemptions. #TaxByWgt #sustainability #CCPI #economicfairness

Bentley lobbying for derogation from 3.5t limit on car licence shows how world is going. Personally I'd go for all of the above plus you must make your 4x4 available to local authority with driver as need arises. #CivilDefence

โ€œOur exhaustive research has revealed that one easy metric โ€” car weight โ€” gives a surprisingly good estimate of overall pollution, including GHGs, AQ, noise, safety . . . Consumers can therefore use this to choose their next car, without being baffled by data from biased sources,โ€ Molden. #TaxByWgt

Road tolls to be linked to length of journey Project Bruce plan aims to target specific road use to offset diminishing taxes on fossil fuel vehicles

#SUVskam Struck by the height of this Ford Raptor, the windows start higher than the roof of the full size Octavia and Merc beside it. TBF this one has a tow bar, but it's still too big to fit into a standard parking space.
No concerns about fuel prices here apparently #TaxByWgt

Will small cars run out of road? Costs are pushing small cars out of the market but is electric power a saviour or the fatal blow?

Great analysis of the #SUVskam from @neilmbriscoe "Will small cars run out of road?"
When will @EamonRyan allow L Class vehicles qualify for EV grants and #TaxByWgt above 1800kg? @greenparty_ie @Paulkenny79
