Hey! It is not very nice to point out the fact that most SUV drivers drive as though traffic laws do not apply to them.

Do you have any empirical evidence to show that a propensity to obey or ignore traffic laws is related to the type of vehicle one drives?

As a group, I don't think SUV drivers are any better or worse than other drivers. I think SUVs get this rap for the same reason tractor-trailers do. When you are driving a smaller car, they seem like big, imposing vehicles that could crush you like a grape. A lot of people are scared of them.

Hey Bozo, I have been driving SUVs for two decades and have zero tickets in my suv's!

I see more Nazi pos's like you running lights, darting in front of trucks and other Bravo Sierra than I do people driving SUV's!

In fact the most dangerous driver in Kali is the whacked out/pot smoking old hippies with the old volvos and save the whales, sore loserman stickers and Save Tibet stickers all over their Volvos. The next most dangerous is the elite liberal in his/her Boxer or some other hot sports car.

The last guy who told his people what car to drive, the Volkswagon, was sent to hell.

So how long have you been a liberal or a closet enviral Nazi liberal?

Only Nazis try to tell people what vehicles to buy and drive. You are no conservative. Go to DU where you belong, you car Nazi!

Some SUV drivers get more aggressive because of the bulk they are riding in. Are they more dangerous than any other drivers? I dunno. What I do know is that they don't like it much when they are tailgating me at rush hour and I downshift suddenly, causing them to slam on their brakes (and, inevitably to almost lose control because they have never learned the simple laws of physics re center of gravity and mass). Poor babies.
