Paris aims to drive large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) out of its centre by hiking parking fees for heavy cars in the French capital, and it plans a citizens' vote on the proposal early next year.
A small city car (Kia Picanto) weighs about 900 kg (~2000 pounds), a regular Ford Mustang weighs just under twice that, a Mustang Mach E weighs over twice that and then some.
Damage done will go up.
If you take into account the amount of people a bus transports, or the “useful work” a small semi and garbage trucks do, not even a small city car can win in terms of damage done– let alone a monster of a vehicle carrying one to two persons.
The fourth power equation you’re talking about is weight per axle. A semi truck will weigh much more in total. But the difference in weight per axle isn’t as high as you seem to think.

Now tell me how much a fully loaded semi truck weighs.
Then take the fourth power of all three of those and compare the results.
I’ve repeated myself enough, cheers.
Literally ignoring my points kthxbye

Yes I know it’s per axle. Do you know what a fully loaded semi weighs? The difference per axle is massive. I invite you to look at the numbers.
Why am I still repeating myself.
