Directly regulating the size isn't the only possibility though, huge cars are really rare in the EU even though there isn't anything prohibiting you from buying them. You just won't fit anywhere with one if you do :)
Thing is, the size is already regulated. The bigger the car is, more emmisions are allowed.
This cars are getting bigger because of regulation.
American perspective: The RAM fits just fine, shame that that railcar doesn't fit.
Depends i see, every suv as needlesly huge. And you definitly see them everywhere
Ahah love the pic u linked of one blocking a tram. The regulators would surely be on their ass for blocking stuff like that.
Sad thing is as these become more common they'll pressure the right people to change the infrastructure around their bigger cars.
