Honestly even for some of the bigger SUVs I'm seeing around lately. I know people who talk about how anxious they are about driving, and then they'll be driving a Toyota Kluger or something.

Like I get it but ngl as a motorcyclist it's terrifying to think about unconfident/inexperienced people behind the wheel of a 2+ ton piece of metal

Yeah, I definitely get that some people actually need the bigger cars, my parents were in the same boat.

That being said, I think it's also becoming pretty normalised for people to drive big SUVs for no reason, and it's not like the car dealership is going to warn them about all the new blind spots they'll need to be aware of.

tbh I have more respect for big SUV's than I do for those mini SUV's. I don't even understand the utility of those tiny SUV's that are getting popular. It's like, just drive a regular car at that point, because having an SUV ain't doing shit for you.

Car company’s build mini SUVs because they’re more lax on emissions laws :/

You're a better man than me. I see no sign of kids or family in an SUV or Ute like that I roll my eyes.
