This would encourage them to take exercise such as walking and cycling.
A by-product would be a reduction in harmful CO2 emissions.

Actually answering the question, rather than criticising it would be more helpful, people.

EXCUSE ME? "Fat" people are human beings, just like everyone else, and because of that, they still deserve just as much respect as everyone else! Excercise should be encouraged, yes, but at the same time, they should be allowed to make their own choices just like everyone else.
So to sum it up, "fat" people should be allowed to drive as long as they follow the rules of the road (same goes for everyone else in the world too of course).

No. Smokers aren't banned from buying cigarettes, binge drinkers aren't banned from buying alcohol... and so on. That being said, skinny people aren't necessarily physically fit. They could easily be an equal or greater risk to the health care system. I know skinny people who eat garbage and the most exercise they get is lifting their coffee cup. You are also skirting the fact that you would be limiting people to their direct neighbourhood which is too restrictive in terms of lifestyle. Or their workplace may be too great a distance to reach by walking or cycling. Encouraging exercise is fine, banning transportation is unnecessarily restrictive and a form of undeserved punishment.

Should stupid people be banned from asking questions on Yahoo Answers? By-product would be a gain in bandwidth and more efficiency of the web. Sheeesh!

That may be the dumbest question I have ever seen on here. If you just wanted to make a bunch of people mad you should be proud of yourself because you did.

Banning them based on their levels of fitness is clearly nonsense.

Perhaps people who have cell phones glued to their ears should. So often a dangerous menace.

No; but stupid people should. Judging by this question, you need to turn in your license.

Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, you said "driving"...I thought you said "living."
Carry on.
