Melbourne council takes new step to punish ute, SUV drivers

AutoExec Summary
Yarra City Council in Melbourne has voted to investigate higher parking fees for large North American-style utes and SUVs to discourage their use in the city. The move is in response to concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, road damage, and safety. However, there are also concerns about the impact on families and those who work outside the inner city. The proposal is part of a wider trend, with similar ideas being discussed in Victorian Parliament and by other local councils.

Brands mentioned: Ram, Chevrolet, Ford, Hummer, Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max.
