I don't care about MPG - my saloon probably gets worse gas mileage
than your SUV.

Rush hour demands such driving.  My complaint in not against SUVs -
it's against SUVs driving on the freeway during rush hour.

You see, during rush hour 95% of the people are going to work and 75%
are single drivers in SUVs.  They're not hauling wood (he he) or their
dog - they're just going to work.

When big vehicles mix with small vehicles in bumper to bumper traffic
it creates dangerous situations because the small vehicles can't see
ahead into traffic.  That means if the SUV driver is drinking coffee
and doesn't see that he needs to brake, the small vehicle has no
warning and - kaboom - chain reaction crashes.  I see it every day.

What all this means is that you pay higher insurance rates because
people commute in SUVs - I have a close friend in insurance and I can
assure you this is true.

> please don't blame the SUV itself.

The SUV is part of the problem because for bad drivers it's the
equivalent of beer muscles.  Just look at the asshat that drove his
Hummer into a river and had to be rescued.  He thought because it was
a Hummer he could do no wrong.  If he'd had a sedan I bet he'd of just
stayed home and the taxpayers wouldn't have had to pay to remove his
head from his butt.
