Trying to think of a SUV which is wider than a farm tractor, a sheep
trailer, a cattle truck, bin lorry, delivery lorry, farmer's pick up truck
etc.

Oh, hang on, if you are not in Chelsea but instead out in the country you
might be a farm worker driving on your local roads.

SUVs can be a problem in towns, where much smaller vehicles can make
sense, but country lanes are one place where they are used properly.

Cheers

Have you forgotten what the S in SUV is for?
Its Sports,
I havent yet seen Farmworkers driving to work appearing in the Olympics
yet.

Farm workers are hardly in the income bracket to buy the vehicles marketed
as SUVs
More likely to have an old Astra.

Since Landrovers etc moved upwards towards the luxury end of the market
the vehicle of choice by those
who earn their living in agriculture seems to be the more practical large
pickup with crew cab and more suitable for driving with dung covered
wellies and smelly dogs than a Range Rover Sport or Porsche Cayenne
Yes Tractors and lorries have got large for country lanes but people who
live in the country have handled narrow single track roads for years.
Occasionally you have to squeeze in to pass and accept that may mean
stuffing the paint finish into the brambles.
Now if you are the Wife of somebody who has earnt a few bob and moved to
the country and then decided that you really must have a White Range Rover
to pose at the school run then you are understandably reluctant to stuff
that in the hedge and spoil the finish, so you force people of the road
instead, and there a lot of them about nowadays.
Things get quite bitchy while they sort themselves out around are local
primary school and had a right paddy when she was forced well into a
passing place by the school bus that also brings children from a bit
further away to it.
And their Husbands commuting to the towns and cities for work completely
unconnected with farm or forestry are not any better.
