@Lance Why should some bureaucrat get to decide what kind of vehicle someone can drive?

I have not seen anyone suggest we should determine what kind of vehicle someone can drive. However, some vehicles have greater impact on others and thus should incur a greater cost. Larger vehicles take up more parking space than smaller vehicles. Heavier vehicles cause greater damage to roads than lighter vehicles. Less efficient vehicles cause greater pollution which increases health costs among other things. All of these situations have consumer choice able to put a greater burden on others, so the owner should pay more in fees to balance out their choice if it impacts others more. It's not restricting choice, but more accurately assigning cost.
