You sit higher, and you see more - that's why people like driving SUVs. Problem is that lights from SUVs often blind people in sedans - they are often misconfigured or badly fixed.
- martin_a 7y ago> You sit higher, and you see more To be honest, that was fulfilled by my smart ForTwo or my mothers Mercedes Benz A class, just as well as my now Hyundai Kona.
- sliken 7y agoYou see "more" as in further down the road. But much less up close, as evidenced by new owners running over their own children in their own driveways. On a bike I've learned to give minivans and SUVs a wide berth, they just seem way less predictable and less likely to see a bicyclist.
- saiya-jin 7y agoA common argument for SUVs by soccer mums that can't drive properly in traffic. No matter that cars are more expensive to run (fuel, tires, brakes etc.), far worse in every measurable driving experience (heavier, much higher center of gravity doesn't lead to much fun), but also more prone to rolling in case of accident (which can be deadly easily). The fact that they can see more ahead in dense traffic gives them a feeling of more safety on emotional level. I would argue against this and nothing beats good driving skills, no matter what car is driven. Worst thing is, some guys also jump on SUV trend.
