The issue with that is you are then penalising those who cannot or simply choose not to own a car and drive with an additional burden that those of use who are able bodied and financially able to choose to do.
Boo hoo, it's not like it doesn't work the other way round here is it? Why are motorists in the UK penalised with excessively high fuel tax to fund boob jobs on the NHS for emotionally insecure people, cancer treatments for 40 a day smokers, or fund the black hole in the governement budgets caused by moronic politicians that do not grasp the fact that they have no money left to spend? These things are not our fault, but we pay for them every time we fill up at the pump. Such is life...
Personally, I would love to it flipped around. Generally, if you own and run a car you are more likely to be economically active, and should be given some tax relief as such.
