RE: [DMCForum] Another SUV comment.

["Jack Stiefel" <jackstiefel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sunny here in Fl.  Left work a little late and took my normal route home.
Like Marc it is an interstate-like highway where we usually cruise about 70
mph.

 

Today it was bare and dry as a usual, and every so often someone would test
the waters and try to pass someone running slower.  Every few miles I saw a
mid size car broken down along the side for a total of 5 or 6 disabled
vehicles with one being pulled out by an SUV and at least one more being
picked up or helped by a pickup truck.  Considering 75% or cars on the road
are non-SUV's I think the numbers demonstrate something.  See any
observation can prove a point if viewed out of context.

 

After living in NORTHERN NY State for 5 years I have seen and driven in tons
of terrible road conditions - snow, slush, ice, dry, black ice, rabbits,
deer lol.  I have seen way too many cars versus SUV's off the road in
ditches, medians etc.  I think your observation is not the norm, but an odd
coincidence.

Snowing here in NJ.  Left work a little early and took
my normal route home.  It is an interstate-like
highway where I usually set the cruse control at
75mph.

Today, it was a sheet of ice.  I stayed in the right
lane and never got above 30mph.  Every once in a while
I would goose the gas to see if I had traction, and I
never did.

Every mile or so, there was a SUV stuck in the median,
or off on the side.  I saw one car stuck in the
median, and another that was hit by a SUV.  So, my
count of the 20 or so disabled vehicles 18 were
SUV's...  Considering SUV's represent about 25% of the
vehicles on the road, I think the numbers demonstrate
something.
