Angry Rant: SUV Driving a-holes

When you drive on twisty roads and can't even do the speed limit, and you see someone right on your tail. Pull the **** over and let the 10 cars lined up behind you go by.

I was on my way to Santa Cruz yesterday, and I could have sworn I had an SUV magnet on the front of my car. No matter how many SUV's I passed, I always seemed to attract more. Be it San Jose/Soquel road, HWY 17, Summit Road or Old Santa Cruz road. SUV's would always seem to block my path of travel.

BAN SUV'S!!!

I live here in the S.C. Mountains, and man, on summer weekends, I just try not to drive at all.

It's just a terrible mixture of people who want to drive fast and people who are slow and nervous on the 'narrow' roads.

SUVs: I'm always amazed at how many people who LIVE up here think that those huge, slow, aukward rollovers-waiting-to-happen are a good idea.

Well because they're safer, naturally. (yes, that was sarcasm)
I've personally seen three on 17 after they rolled over. 1 of them was a Range Rover with a horse trailer in tow...and there was a horse in the flipped trailer. What are people thinking???

The real problem isn't SUV's, it's the arrogant attitude that sometimes goes with them. They won't pull over in order to yield to faster traffic, and they errantly think they can drive them like cars. A little driver's training and courtesy would go a long way towards solving the problem...but that can be said of all vehicle owners - right?

man oh man. i just drove to visit dan in OC this weekend with Al. it's not just the SUB drivers that annoy the crap out of me, but it's the mini vans who think they are race cars. i watched abut four whizz past me while i was going NINETY. what are these people thinking?!! there are CHILDREN in there with them... and it probably doesnt have adequate brakes to stop it at speeds like that. its bad enough that we can't see around them... even if you're in a big truck... but they think they own the road. not to mention the fact that they're serious gas guzzlers and half of these people dont even take these vehicles off road.

kurlee= jeremy?? if so... are you still in town??
