A comment on Britain to ban new petrol cars and vans by 2030 on road to net zero emissions. Parent comment
Most people have no alternative at the moment so hitting cars can only lead to unrest.
An example is France's attempt to heavily tax diesel, which partly led to the yellow vest protests because people have no choice at the moment.
Put a good, viable alternative in place then you can make the move against ICE/cars in general.
