READING:
An environmental group wants to stop "carspreading". This is when cars are too wide for towns. It causes traffic jams and accidents. The number of SUVs is increasing. There are 10 times more of these in the UK now than 20 years ago. People want higher parking fees for SUVs because they take up more space.
The environmental group said people walking and cycling are more at risk. Walkers and cyclists hit by SUVs are more likely to die. More than half of new cars in the UK are too big and dangerous for cities. Not everyone agrees with the group. One driver said it was unfair to make life more expensive for people who drive SUVs.
