The vehicle arms race is the increasingly large vehicles. SUVs are considered light trucks and light trucks have legislation which allows for them to be less fuel efficient. This encourages less efficient vehicles to roam the street and makes riding bikes and motorcycles much less safe which further encourages the arms race.

Very interesting. I didn’t know this
We need two cars. One of them is annolder microcar (Suzuki Splash) and it does fine on our roads with 80 mph speed limits
Cars here are taxed every half year depending on how economic they are. The more they use the more they cost

Microcars aren’t able to travel above 25mph for the most part because of safety regulations. So what we do have here are a bunch of LSV rated microcars which can’t be used on many streets.
