[HIGHLIGHTS] Ever larger cars on German roads: Environmental aid calls for higher parking fees

Cars are getting bigger and bigger on German roads. Environmental aid calls for higher parking fees.

Newly registered vehicles in Europe have become an average of ten centimeters wider over the past two decades. In early February, the French capital will vote on tripling parking fees for large SUVs. The DUH is criticized by the General German Automobile Club (ADAC) for scandalizing the issue. In Germany, there is more discussion about creating wider parking spaces than about higher parking Fees. This won't stop anyone from buying an SUV.
