Comment on SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists

You can’t stop boomers buying SUVs. It’s as much as a status symbol to them as Adidas trainers are to kids (I might be showing my age here do kids still care about Adidas?).
Tax the fuck out of heavier vehicles. Put that money back into the roads. Why most of the inner city streets needs a mini tractor riding up and down them is beyond me. But it’s not going to stop. So deal with the problem better.

Tax the tractors and put the money towards public transit. The tractors can enjoy the roads they ruined, while the rest of us go in fast lanes of well-maintained infrastructure.
