Are the drivers of gigantic over-sized SUV's trying to compensate for having low intellegence?

Excellent question. Low intelligence and limited sexual prowess are possible reasons, I would cite low ego strength. These poor individuals compensate by strapping themselves into these massive gas guzzling vehicles, similar to some little kids carrying a safety blanket around with them wherever they go. It gives them a sense of safety, power and control, at least while they're behind the wheel.

There must be some reason why their going slow, just honk your horn or flash your lights to get their attention. \nSafety first.

It seems SUV owners are less environmentally conscientious than many other people. They are gas guzzlers and produce more Carbon Dioxide than other cars, so yes, they can pollute the air. People who drive Hummers are the most ridiculous.

Totally stupid...and no, I have never done this.  If you aren't smart enough to operate a gas pump properly, and this isn't a hard task....my mom taught me at age 14.....then you shouldn't be driving either.  It's obvious that lack of concentration is involved, and that isn't a safe person on the road.  Either that, or they are drunk...and that is a no-no and stupid as well.

I think it should be.  That way we know inexperienced drivers are getting the proper training to become good drivers.\n\nHope that sounds right!!

Some girls have to always have something negative to say about someone, actually I think that the nice BIG trucks are sexy! I actually think a guy who was driving a junker made up that saying about guys who drive big truck have little D***S, and i think it was because he was jealous, because no matter what if you have a Nice Big Truck your gonna get laid regardless of the size of your wiener! Girls see $$$ when they see souped up vehicles and of course everyone knows what women will do for money!!!!

People tend to drive very badly every day. They seem to think that a car is meant for eating, putting on make-up, talking on a cellphone, or even reading a book, and not for paying attention to the road and driving. They also think it is ok to go super slow (65 or slower) on the highway, when it actually is really dangerous to everyone around them.

If they raised the legal driving age to 30, then 30 year olds would be causing fatal crashes daily.  They're new to driving and still getting the hang of it.  Yes, some of it has to do with irresponsibility, but for the most part they aren't skilled enough to know how to manoever their way around sticky situations.  It takes time and practice to be really good at something, no matter what age a person is.

Obviously there needs to be at the very least a whole new driving exam when someone buys an SUV for the first time. Especially these little soccer moms who can barely see over the dash board.\n Look, parking in a space is really quite simple, hell the Escalade even has an automatic tilt feature on its side mirrors just for that purpose.\n If your backing into a space just get each line of the space in your sight with the side mirrors, then you know your not over a line. It's really not hard people.

I'm told that it totally depends on who is driving.

As with all aspects of the law, ignorance of the law is no excuse. It is always the drivers responsibility to make sure that he is driving within the means of his licence. Unfortunately this extends not only to the weight of the vehicle once loaded but also to the general condition of the vehicle, I know of people who have been threatened with the loss of their job if they didn't take an unroadworthy vehicle on the road and have been caught!! The van driver will always be the one on the sharp end of the judgment in these scenarios. Is mighty unfair considering the potential for 'undue influence' from the employer but the law is a tough nut!!!  \nInterestingly though the weight limits set are detailed in ones driving licence and not according to a particular van, manufacturers publish this information as a guide - as far as I am aware at a ny rate. This does not mean ignore manufacturers advice it merely throws doubt  on the need for training on a vans weight limit although I would have thought that this informaation would have been available at any rate as a company is likely to want to look after an asset as sizeable in value as a van.

Thank goodness somebody is finally stepping up to the plate and offering to teach people how to drive out there. \n\nI think the insurance in that kind of business is going to be pretty high.  Oh, and you need a big yellow "student driver" sign.   \n\nGood luck!

They're not dumb, but I think some of them are lacking in people skills
