    The size of SUVs in Europe is getting out of control! I swear most of them wouldn’t even fit on the streets in my hometown! Even worse, it’s becoming dangerous to own a normal car because, if you get in an accident with one of these SUVs, your car’s safety features will be completely overwhelmed by these monstrosities.

      I also hate how they completely block the view beneath them, because in addition to being huge, they have small windows and usually tinted.

      Driving a large vehicle by itself shouldn’t be a huge deal, what worries me is how fast the driving behavior is worsening: both as a driver and a cyclist, I see my share of appalling situations…

      There were a few around here where the edge of the trunk in the back were at the same height as my neck. If any of this shit hits me I die instantly. Pretty great being an adult. I have no idea what kind of nightmare fuel it gives the kids.
