"Or get people to stop buying oversized vehicles that take up too much room. " If it cost more to use them, it may discourage some of them from being bought. | |||

"What if people want to drive about in lorries to look cool., A new fashion trend! Surely that should be catered for too then .. and they'll demand huge parking bays" I'm guessing that some would think that they can take up whatever parking space is needed, irrespective of the impacts on others. Perhaps about the equivalent of 6 regular car spots. As we've got so little time to reduce our climate and ecological impacts, I'm assuming that some stick and carrot measures could best help. People needing SUV for medical reasons, shuldn't be unfairly discriminated against though. | |||

What I don't understand is why driving a car that's a cross between a tank and a bus seems to give people such a sense of entitlement - speeding, bad parking and general selfishness seem to be endemic amongst SUV owners (although of course they aren't the only ones). | |||

"Parking is already so expensive everywhere, a few hours in town the other day, £19.80. " Try some parts of London then where 4 hours is over £50 or more | |||

"Parking is already so expensive everywhere, a few hours in town the other day, £19.80. Try some parts of London then where 4 hours is over £50 or more" It’s cheaper to take a parking ticket sometimes and pay it off that day. I have done that a good few times | |||

"my suv carries my electric wheelchair." Mine isn't quite an SUV but it's not small and similarly, mine carries my wheelchair too. | |||

"Sadly it looks like Sadiq Khan is considering introducing this in London. Guessing ULEZ isn't making enough money Got to be a way to get this clown out of office." Fortunately he does not have this power so its his usual grandstanding.Theres an election coming and we can expect more of this from him. London Boroughs already charge a parking rate dependant on your vehicles emissions and most add a diesel surcharge. And much as it pains me I do agree with him.These vehicles have no place and surve no purpose in central London. And to add insult to injury Westminster have done away with cheap parking for electric vehicles | |||

"They should be charged (or where possible, fined) for deliberately parking with the driver's side on over over the line marking the adjacent bay. This is becoming a regular ploy to deter or even prevent another medium to large vehicle parking close to either side of them. Selfish gits. I've seen some parked in a diagonal fashion across the primary bay with front wheels encroaching the adjacent bay on one side and rear wheels doing likewise on the other side. The message being quite clearly 'We don't give a fuck'." I've seen quite a few small cars parked like this. Not sure which is worse, an inconsiderate driver or a really bad driver? | |||

They're probably much the same, unfortunately for the rest of us | |||

We bounced a few cars sideways that did this | |||

Parking is free money using the law to make it legal, paint yellow or red lines you can do anything you like, so charging to park a vehicle thats legally allowed on the road but is larger than say a van is the next opportunity to make money, if we all turned round and didn't pay what could they do about it...... Nothing | |||
