Ploughing the Streets of Chelsea

Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have been jokingly dubbed 'Chelsea tractors' (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56647128). It seems, however, that the perception of them is remarkably accurate. 75% of these large, fuel-hungry, 4-wheeled drive vehicles in the UK, are owned by city dwellers. SUVs are capable of crossing a river but most are used on the school run. They are obviously bought more for signalling status than for their performance. People should think whether mobile displays of wealth are appropriate, when climate change is a major concern. Displaying them to children makes them even less appropriate.
