True. And one of the reasons that sitting higher has become
more of an issue is the number of SUVs and minivans on the
road. As a result, if you're in a sedan, it's become much
more difficult to see any distance ahead...


I'm not convinced its a rational choice, they just feel safer.


No argument there. Given the testing that's been done, it's clearly
not a rational safety choice. But the seating height does make a
difference in visibility.

And its mostly those who dont feel that comfortable driving,
like women drivers too. Thats why so many of those like SUVs.


Dunno about that, seems to be mostly men around here...

They're mosty too stupid to realise that they are risking
running over kids when backing into areas etc too.


Probably the most serious problem with SUVs...
