Check this out.....from the same article:

"The northern port city of Dalian; the Hunan provincial capital, Changsha; Shenzhen, across the border from Hong Kong; and many other cities ban cars with engines smaller than 1 liter from entering their downtowns on the grounds that those cars are old and dirty. Some other municipalities ban smaller cars from expressways, claiming the cars are so small they may endanger their owners when going at high speed. Other local governments single out owners of small cars for special charges -- "traffic capacity expansion" or "road and bridge maintenance" fees -- that can run $150 to $1,500."

Talk about "Stupid is as stupid does!
