There is an addition safety issue hardly ever mentioned, that is the number of accidents which occur during left turns at larger intersections due to the inability to see beyond some monster SUV or truck headed the opposite direction and also turning left. This problem existed before the SUV boom, vans and commercial trucks presented the same problem but their numbers were so few there impact on driving safety was minimal. Here where I live better than 50% of those vehicles in the turn lane are pickups and SUVs, and left turn related accident increasing.
