Why not put a Registration Tax that does weight multiplied by hood height for the cost?

Europe is going down the drain copying all the worst parts of US culture: anti-woke culture war bullshit, voting for increasingly fascist parties, obsession with individual wealth and status symbols (I.e. big trucks).... I wish there was a way to stop it, but it seems everyone is either participating or just shrugging their shoulders. At this point, I'm just glad I don't have kids who will have to live in this reality.
