You know, i dont think as a whole SUV drivers are any worse than regular drivers (in normal conditions at least), its just that because of their size, they are that much more noticable. I mean your going to remember almost being killed by a big rig far mor than almost getting hit by a Metro. But yes, in inclimate weather, SUV and AWD cars tend to get themselves into a lot of trouble.

i always wondered why bumpers weren't a standard height...

Ya know, i've been looking at that a lot lately, and it seems they actually are very similar...on STOCK vehicles. The problem is that most people who get an SUV, at least in socal, dont want to leave them at stock height. You take a vehicle with an already high center of gravity, and raise it some more. Not only do you get rid of any bumper compatibility, but you also increase the risk of rollovers enormously.
And as for the "you dont need an SUV, so you should be allowed to have one" argument, i wont go into it too deep. but who is anyone to decide what i should or shouldn't be allowed to drive?
