Are We Next? Madrid, Spain Charges More for Parking if You Own a Truck

In the ever growing battle of the "Greens" versus the rest of us, Madrid, Spain has decided to institute parking meters that will charge you depending on what type of vehicle you drive.

In this case, if you drive a gross polluter or a diesel, you will pay more to park versus the guy in the Prius or the Volt. Here is how it will work and we’ll start a discussion on if this practice is fair or not. Hold all opinions until after you hear what they will charge....

So, as with anything, if this proves successful, there will be other places in the world that will want to try this. You can be sure it will probably start in California if it starts here in the US.

So, do you want your local city to what you’re driving? Do you really want them to charge you more for parking your Ford Truck?

Should the guy in the Prius even get a discount for parking it? To us, it really doesn't feel fair, but we do want you to sound off.

Let us know on Facebook and in our forum with your comments!

 

Full size trucks are rare outside of north america, so they're charging more if you park a little toyota hilux or something of similar size.
