Size, weight and motor will be taken into account as councillors target ‘dangerous, cumbersome’ vehicles

      Like the ability to pull large trailers and go offroad.

      Crossovers don’t do anything better than the cars they are based on, they just have worse visibility, handling and economics for no reason.
