I've noticed that certain types of large vehicles attract drivers (or create false confidence) in bad driving and aggressive driving habits.

It is appears that the driver of the large SUV or pickup believes they have right of way over smaller cars, pedestrians and cyclists.

A "get out of my way" attitude.

I love small cars, not to mention cycling and walking.

It concerns me that the shift of cars parked at the parking lot has dramatically changed over the past 20 years.

Walking from the car to the shop is like carpark gauntlet, you need to be increasingly ready to dodge giant vehicles reversing with disregard to their surroundings.




Surveys have found that people driving large SUVs and trucks like them for reasons including, it makes them feel powerful, and it makes them feel important. These were high on the list, even.
