I live in one of those annoyingly yuppy, trend-conscious, suburb areas, and probably 80% of the cars on the road are SUVs. And most of the people don't know how to drive them.

I drive a *lot* (an hour to and from school every day) on the interstate and around town. I find SUV drivers are bad, but for my money, the worst drivers are in Fords. Mostly the Tarus, the Contour and the big-ass 6-wheeled trucks. I can't tell you how many times I've been tailgaged, nearly hit, cut off, been stuck behind one going 45 in the fast lane.

I used to think I wanted an SUV. I was driving home after my last final in college, had all my stuff packed up and was all upset about college "ending." Well, I almost met my own end that day. It was raining and my car hydroplaned all over the interstate. I am positve that had I been in an SUV I would have flipped over and probably been seriously hurt. I was very glad to have my little Mitsubishi Galant, which was low enough to the ground to not go flying off the embankment that I was spinning on.
