I agree but I'd also like to see tax paid on size of the vehicle because it's literally using more of the public highway. So motorbikes would still pay less, probably.

The SUV users say it improves safety. OK, they can pay for it.

Commercial registration goes by weight.

They do pay for it with higher taxes... Could you further elaborate how SUV aren’t “paying for it”?

Is that based on the size of the vehicle? In my country it is not. It is only based on emissions. Some SUVs will pay less tax than a small sports car.
