A recent LiveJournal community post used the phrase "Penile Compensator Unit" in reference to a certain model of SUV/truck. That sums up a lot. I agree with your proposal in principle. Those without the driving skill to safely drive and park an SUV should not be allowed to. -- Shawn K. Quinn |

That makes as much sense as the contention that we should all
drive small cars and not be allowed to buy the vehicles that our lifestyle may require. How does one transport their wife, five kids and all their 'stuff' in a Focus? If you don't like SUV's don't buy one. Others obviously believe they need the room and versatility afford by SUV's and have the right to buy what they need or want. No matter what you choose to buy with your money it will still be smaller than a tractor trailer rig. Should we ban those as well mike hunt DonQuixote-v-Windmills wrote: > > wrote: > > Because you light weight transport vehicle was not designed with > > 'armor.'
