Not sure from a rational point of view that the risks are lowered; safest cars today are not SUVs Tragedy of the commons: everyone takes a bit more land to fee

Tragedy of the commons: everyone takes a bit more land to feed their extra goat, the field is overgrazed, all the goats starve. Ie, in wanting more we end up all losers

- pleb_nz 5y agoAgreed, but SUVs do cause additional risk to smaller vehicles. For example, at busy intersections drivers in smaller cars have a lot less visibility due to the walls of SUVs around them. I can't count the amount of times I've had to delay turning at a stop sign to wait for a larger vehicle that has pulled up next to me to leave so I can regain visibility and make the turn. That or it becomes a game of edging out past the big vehicle.
