Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe : europe

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We're still very far from US sized cars.

It's mostly to remove the vehicles responsible for the most emissions.

Well I see more and more morons who are certainly not farmers drive around in Dodge RAMs and Ford F150s

I mean, parking with a big car would be more of a nightmare than it is already in small-sized europe.

I guess that's the actual objective. Making driving unbearable

This should be an easy fix for France (or any country). Don't make dumb laws.

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Dumb laws or laws smartly written by the automobile industry themselves?

What a terrible article headline. Had to scroll through three paragraphs before it finally got to the damn point. Alternative headline: “Paris enforces higher parking fees for oversized vehicles”

Oh no, how would small dick rich parisians even compensate with that law in place?!

I mean, i agree. The amount of American sized cars i see in the netherlands nowadays is a lot.

But they are pretty awesome cars so i get why someone would want one.

And those are usually still small versions of the ones they actually sell in the US

Little weirdos are obsessed with the US. Buy whatever you want, why they gotta try to make this about America when this is just about European buying habits?

We love many great trends from youe coumtry: your music, your TV shows,... Some of us also love some not so great trends like your oversized cars. You don't have to get on your high horse to spite us, we can do it ourselves.
