That wouldn’t be fair, because little light cars damage roads much less than big heavy cars.
There’s a very simple, totally fair system that would tax more polluting vehicles more for driving more - ditch VED and stick it all on fuel.
Simple, efficient, free to implement and saves costs in the future.
Hefty-
So the drivers of the forthcoming RR Spectre will pay no tax at all on their 3 ton, £350k (before options) land yacht...
Edit to add.. missed the VAT

Charge a big car more then.
Fuel tax doesn't work for EV owners charging their car from the solar panels on their roof.
I also think we should charge more per mile for driving in congested urban areas in the rush hour compared to sparsely populated rural areas off peak.

How are you defining polluting? All those heavy electric SUVs that everyone seems to be buying are pretty bad for particulate matter.

The only sensible answer is road pricing. Black box in every car that reports where and when you drive. Cameras and crushing to catch people that disable the black box.
