Britain’s cars and SUVs are growing bigger – but there is a way to stop this deadly ‘carspreading’ | Christian Wolmar

Britain's vehicles are getting bigger, crowding roads and posing serious risks to pedestrians, according to a recent analysis. These larger cars and SUVs are not only squeezing out smaller vehicles in parking spaces but also increasing the danger to foot traffic. The author, Christian Wolmar, argues for measures to curb this trend, comparing it to the need for a "miracle drug" to control car size growth. The issue highlights a broader concern about road safety and urban planning, emphasizing the urgent need for action to protect pedestrians and maintain road space efficiency.
