    Some places are taxing / fining vehicles over a certain weight. That seems like a good solution. The fine should be proportional to the offender’s wealth/income though or rich people will just be able to ignore it.

      Certain weight and size, would be good, imho.

      Have a bit looser restrictions for road freight lorries and vans, but only regarding the back if they’re fully covered (instead of open), and owned by actual transport companies, with logs of what they transported, and actually used for that purpose at least 40 x a year.

      Yes, but unfortunately not many countries have that system.

      I think all of the EU should implement wealth/income based fines.

        The whole world should, unfortunately people with money have a greater say when it comes to the rules, and they don’t like that rule.
