    Taxing vehicles by weight is an interesting solution. I feel like it’d have to be non-linear, though. Start at like 0 tax owed at 2500 pounds and go up from there.

      While I agree in principle, this does pose a problem for electric vehicles with their heavy battery packs.

      Road taxes where I live (Netherlands) are already based on the car weight and also on type of fuel. Electric cars are exempt from road taxes, for now.

      And would need an exception for the people who actuality need a big truck.
