Right-o! Everyone knows SUVs have a mind of their own and are completely in control of their own destiny.

No drivers needed!

The only complaint I have in respect to SUVs is that when they park next to me in a crowded lot I have a problem backing up. Of course I've had too many martinis and should have called a cab.

Well I've got another complaint. Too many SUV drivers are fitting their vehicles with headlight lamps that are too numerous (extra headlights) or too powerful and adjusted improperly. This also applies to personal trucks. I live in a small subdivision that is accessible by either of two two-lane blacktop roads and there have been several nights when I've been coming home and found myself forced to slow down to a near crawl and pull over slightly to the right because the lane in front of me is invisible. And someone else in my area -- who I don't know -- even wrote a letter to the Editor of our local paper that was published about this, which led to at least one news report on a local TV station. I'm not the only one.

I have a personal theory that many who drive SUVs and personal trucks are really not that good behind the wheel and they go for overkill in installing headlights so that they gain a margin of comfort for night driving.
