        There are a lot of SUV type vehicles on the road in the UK, it’s frustrating was most people do not need that kind of car.

          Watching tiny, single people drive gigantic SUVs around everywhere whilst looking just over the top of the steering wheel is quite discomforting. And parking spots filled with vehicles that barely fit in them.

        It’s a safe bet that the problem is that much worse in the US. There’s a giant marketing apparatus here that’s dedicated to selling a self-image that includes giant trucks and SUVs.
