I have a “ridiculous barge” made by Mercedes as my everyday car, why? Because it’s incredibly useful, it carries a huge amount of stuff to/from the garden centre, DIY store, refuse tip etc. We have 13 (no that’s not a typing error) grandchildren so it’s regularly used in 7 seater mode. I do accept that some people have big SUVs but don’t know how to drive them properly but I think it’s a shame that every SUV driver gets tarred with the same brush. My SWMBO drives my Merc. SUV regularly and has no problem handling it, it’s probably a case of confidence. I don’t see van drivers berated for the size of their vehicles taking up road space and my Merc. is smaller than a lot of vans. Perhaps I should start a campaign “SUV Drivers are people too”?
