In my estimation, the idea of large numbers of people driving vans and SUVs in traffic is endangering MY life and the lives of others by reducing visual range on the highways, i.e. by preventing other drivers including themselves from ever seeing further than the SUV two cars in front of them.

You should just drive a bigger SUV. You will see right over them.

Right on. I'll bet he get's really pissed when he's behind the 18 wheeler hauling his groceries, or the crap he buys at WalMart. God forbid the FedEx or UPS truck delivering all the junk you buy off Ebay.

We drive SUV's because we are Americans, we are productive, we have built the best country and economy the world has ever seen, but most of all we drive them because we earn enough to damn well afford it.

Sounds like he's following too closely (tailgating)...if I remember my driver's ed course correctly, I believe there should be 10 feet for every 10 miles of speed a vehicle is traveling between you and the car in front of you. Thus, at 65 mph there should be 65 feet between you and the car in front of you. (yeah, I know, in my dreams...) So, if everyone followed the rules, we could all drive safely....
