Big size vehicles

Despite environmental concerns, some manufacturers are making bigger and bigger vehicles, especially work related ones, but is there a limit?

A work vehicle I saw recently wouldn't fit in a standard car park, too wide and too long, therefore taking up much of four spaces in Australia, hardly fair.

Another, unexpected but shameful, approach is the increasing number of large vehicles that are parked in handicapped parking spaces as they are the only spaces large enough to use.

Governments that are concerned with pollution, and fairness, should restrict vehicle sizes to 90% of a car park’s dimensions. It might also encourage some people, including myself, to go on a diet so we can get in and out easily. Be a big enough person to use a small car.
