SUV's are very dangerous, not only to people you hit, but the occupants as well. Roll-overs are the deadliest accidents and SUV's are the most likely to roll-over. For the past 15 years consumer safety groups have been trying to get manufacturers to change their designs. Some even advocate banning the vehicles because they are so dangerous. Unless you are driving an SUV with roll-over control, you would be safer in a car.
: Until there are no more rainy nights, slippery roads, 18 wheelers, drunk drivers, and random accidents I will put myself and my family in the biggest, safest automobile I can get my hands on. So thanks for your ticket, but it made me all the more sure that my decision to choose the safety of my family and protect them agains road hazards was correct. I hope you never have a family member in an accident with a tractor trailer. Perhaps then you will put them in a larger mode of transportation. Your mode of protest is laughable.
