> So you must live in a big city right? In rural parts of America, especially out West, the roads are big and wide, you can see for miles, and probably 75% of people drive trucks or SUVs. If you told them SUVs were "bad" they wouldn't know wtf you were talking about. And I would guess it is like that in most of rural Australia, no? Maybe a good compromise would be banning SUVs in densely populated cities.]
I live in Sydney. And I absolutely agree that a big solid car is perfect for people in rural areas - they also might need to be carrying more than a carton of milk and their handbag in the back. I think there should be additional driver training and levies imposed on people in densley populated urban areas who think SUV's are the car for them. That way they might at least have a think about it.
