Most of the inexperienced drivers relise that when they try to stop. They waste gas. They destroy other cars when in an accidents. They are are annoying all around. They should tax the hell out of those trucks to try and get them off the road. The only thing I hate wose than truck are trips to the dentist. Sorry for the rant but it's how I feel.
I can agree with many of your sentiments. SUVs replaced station wagons and are the fasionable alternative to a minivan. As such, you see them everywhere. They are annoying to drive behind because their windows are often factory tinted to the point that you cannot see what the vehicle in front of them is doing. Some SUV drivers are unaware of just how much of an obstruction they can be when it comes to seeing past them. I doubt they'll ever be taxed off the road but hopefully us fickle consumers can become fixated with something different soon.
