Saying this as someone in a jurisdiction that has increased penalties for driving and using your phone, and implemented camera technology to detect drivers doing this. Without wanting to minimise the other factors in any way, my personal peeve is the ridiculous size of behemoth SUVs and what in my country are called "utes" (used by trades-people and country-folk initially but now becoming a status symbol for urbanites). These things have ballooned so much that often, when I'm in a sedan next to one I feel like I've pulled up next to a monster truck. The reduced near-field visibility, the fact that the sheer height means pedestrians are more likely to be dragged under the vehicle than thrown over. I am looking forward to a day when this insane fad is history (I'm not optimistic).
