(EU) SUVs. Are you insecure and too stupid to drive? GET A CAR 20% larger in every dimension so you can piss off the whole world with your incompetence.
I live in a Dutch city and there's like 3 people here with dumbass cars like dode rams and everytime I see them the only thing I can think is damn you are an asshole. Those cars are ridiculous
They might just be Americans. Oh wait..
These huge vehicles (I can't call them cars anymore) also really don't even fit our roads. Do these people only intend to use their cars on the freeway?
They often also don‘t fit on European parking lots.
Totally true, I always thought that would be the case but there really are studies that confirm this.
Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?
I have an SUV because:
Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.
Well then just block all roads and murder people while you are at it. A ok.
Did you read my post?
Would it be correct to sum up your post as: my family is so handicapped they can only drives SUVs, i am an asshole and need to talk about my COMPACT SUV because people in my life do not talk about it enough?
That's similar to why I hav an SUV. My dad has mobility issues and has a scooter to help him get around. The SUV is higher off the ground making it easier to get in and out while the larger cargo space can hold the scooter and anything else (groceries, luggage, etc).
Also - the mass and form of an SUV makes them a good option in terms of safety. Smaller vehicles get crunched like pop cans, and trucks get sandwiched by their own bed if you hit a solid object.
Making yourself safer by making everyone else less safe still seems like an asshole move to me?
Bumper height should have been regulated on city roads, then we wouldn't have gotten this escalation. Work truck, sure. If you need one, you need one. But people who drive a massive gas guzzler to park it at the office and go up the elevator to work?
Sure, but not caring that you are the problem makes you an asshole, right? That was the original question. So the point stands.
Yeah time to buy a rifle and shoot you in the head because it makes everyone that is not an asshole and you safer...ever considered that?
So after you have stated that you are literally an anti social sociopath you ask how permanently removing you from societly would be good for everyone else. Ok. I put this as blunt as possible so it is easy to understand, but obviously you need coloured pictures and a helper?
Actually no. SUVs are great at murdering the drivers of other cars, they do not in fact protect you any better. Its just a big blow up dick for assholes.
Not sure that makes any difference really. As I said, the actually difference between my (admittedly mini) SUV and its corresponding saloon/hatchback is a few cm at most. Also, they all meet the same safety standards.
The difference between a proper car (BMW, Renault, etc) and a crap one (Dacia, Hyundai, etc) will make more difference than whether it is an SUV or a saloon. In either case, if the car was is newer than ~2000 it will be infinitely safer than what our parents shoved us into anyway.
Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.
