there we go, perpetuating the stigma that is.. females and driving SUVs.

perpetuating the stigma that is....TRUE??? 😀

There was an interesting pic around here in, I think Nov/Dec., it was on the front page of the paper that day. It was of a car, sticking out from the roof of a house! I was looking at the paper at a 24hr store, and the night cop there commented to me that it was a woman driver. LOL!!

Can't stay in their lanes, can't stay out of buildings... you know.
 
A lot of people don't need to drive SUVs. I think anyone driving vehicles over certain weights / dimensions should be required to do an additional driving test before purchasing them to ensure they can in fact handle the vehicle they want to operate. We could probably cut down on SUV drivers by 40% total, and women by 60% or more.

That sounds good, we also need some more extensive testing if a car has more than 120HP.

I don't agree that it would reduce it much, if at all really.

People who get in accidents can drive safe and cautious, they just choose not to

I agree. The angle is wrong, for the truck to have hit the building that way it likely would have gone right through where the sign is placed.

And no one puts a drive through in the front of the store. Definatly chopped.

We need more extensive training and testing for every driver. It is jokingly easy to get a driver's license while being a horrible driver.

minivans can be just as bulky and Subarus have just as a high a center of gravity. Hey passenger vans are both. Why should SUVs be different again ?

BTW, ever drive an SUV ? It's not all that different except when you're in the process of an emergency maneuver.

Agreed, it's not like an 18 wheeler or motorcycle. The same skills are used to drive every type of vehicle you mentioned.

Said it a bunch of times already, they need to make licenses harder to get.
 
Can't even imagine the insurance payout for that.
Structural damage plus loss of business.
I'd say her insurance is gonna go up big time.
