Hello Robert - 

CA>>> The 'robin in spring' and the 'jeep in a ditch on it's
CA>>> side' were harbingers of the seasons. Why everyone is so
CA>>> shocked that SUVs mimic their siblings is beyond me. Tall
CA>>> vehicle, narrow/short wheelbase = flip. Simple enough. ;-) 

RS>> Again, it depends upon which SUV's you mean. Even my
RS>> friends king cab Chevy truck is an SUV. 

CA>> Sorry, I thought my reference to the 'jeep' made that
CA>> clear. I'm referring to the 'jeep wannabe's' out there. 

RS> But SUV does not make that clear. YOU know what you mean,
RS> but a casual listener may not. All they'll likely hear is
RS> SUV. Next they'll be chanting: down with SUV's (some
RS> already are) and then the next thing you know, station
RS> wagons and trucks are outlawed. 

RS> I was going to add a disclaimer about this being an
RS> exaggeration, but it's really not that much of one. 

In a more perfect society where the automobile as a potential
weapon was taken seriously we would prosecute more vigorously
those persons who by their aggressive use of a larger than
required vehicle caused death or injury. Frankly, some people
drive these things intending to use them as a 'weapon' to clear
themselves a path knowing others might be seriously injured or
even die. 

When I had my chauffer's license I was told by a judge that
along with the privilege of driving larger vehicles came
additional responsibilities to control that vehicle and not
endanger people in normal passenger vehicles. I don't hear
anyone mentioning that fact to owners who really have no need
for a 'truck' but use it as a weapon.
