What is a "responsible" vehicle?

And you felt the need to dig this thread up just for that?

I remembered reading this several years ago (4 1/2 years ago to be exact) and laughing my ass off. Thought it was more true than ever today.

Here's another reason to dislike SUV's...

I'm sitting a few cars back in a left turn lane. The 2nd car back is an enormous SUV. It's making a U-turn on a divided 4 lane road - not a problem for a regular car but this isn't a regular car. The SUV is waaaaay too big to attempt such a manuver and has to stop before the curb (apparently a 6" curb was too much for this mighty SUV to handle) and back up to make the turn. Only the car behind her made it through the light and cross traffic had to wait for the lane to clear. So everyone else misses the light because she couldn't understand that her bus-like vehicle has a long wheelbase and huge turning circle.

Yeah, I know this is a single example but it's not the first time I've seen someone trying to drive their SUV like a car and get in that exact same situation. It's also fun when you're trying to drive through a parking lot and someone in an SUV assumes that because their vehicle is 2x the size of yours they get 2x the road as well.

If you lots of people to hault, get a big car like a minivan. IF you want to go offroading you dont need a 19 foot suv or a hummer. Im sure my range rover can off road better then those fat SUVS.

Why not. A Range Rover is a really nimble little vehicle. Aint it?

Welcome to the US.
