Funny you should say that. I was only yesterday driving around central London in my Qashqai which I don't see as a particularly big car. Even the trade sees it as a Focus / Golf alternative on stilts.
Anyway, at one point in the traffic there was an original little Fiat 500, obviously someone's pride and joy. Now I know it was always a tiny car but alongside it at one stage was another Qashqai. It simply dwarfed the wee Fiat. Later there was a Range Rover beside it and they were preposterously different in size given that at one level they fulfill exactly the same purpose.
The average size of vehicles simply must have contributed to congestion in addition to the increased numbers of course.
