I've got no beef with SUVs. I'd love to have an H2 myself. I do have a problem with some SUV drivers. You know the ones -- oblivious to the universe around them in their metal cocoons, cell phone plastered against their ear or a newspaper propped up on the wheel, gradually crowding the car in the lane next them into the ditch as they wander to and fro across multiple lanes in their huge vehicle. This type of imbecile exists in cars, too, but when they get behind the wheel of an SUV, these particular incompetents seem to even be more divorced from the reality of the road around them. Maybe they feel invincible and therefore don't care.
In other words, any problem with SUVs is a driver problem, not a vehicle problem. Good drivers can drive an M1A Abrams down the street and it wouldn't bother me in the least.
Fortunately, the drivers you speak of are easily identifiable. They will have a small vinyl soccer ball stuck to the back of the Fordasaurus/Chevyzilla they're mishandling while talking on the phone at 70 mph or so.
Before the flames start, understand that I believe ANYONE shoyuld be allowed to buy ANY vehicle their minds and wallets will allow. I just wish that those who buy them would drive them better, and have some courtesy for the rest of us.
Note, SUV drivers: Those of us in cars can't see around you. Slamming on the brakes while on an interstate MIGHT surprise someone behind you. Also, given the size of your vehicle, turn signals and an extra look in the mirrors before lane changes would be appreciated. Thanks.
